lyrics

looking back on the days
I’ve lived in africa
first in my family
i’m here to plant new seeds
future shines brightly
a new livity
all of my hopes and dreams
have become reality

I came home, place where the ancestors roamed

Come Home, you’ll walk the streets and find that you’re not alone

thinking of all the ways
living in africa
has made me realize
the depths of humanity
given tranquility
i found the best of me
i miss my family
but still they’re here with me

Everyday, i see something new
Some ways that i could change
Something for me to do
There’s a place here for you
Brothers and sisters, find the inner truth

Beautiful Motherland
Extend your ancient hands
Share all your wisdom
Show me where I’m coming from
