Lyrics

They take us away from Africa With the intention to steal our culture The good father pass by and say Humble yourself, my little one Humble yourself, my children Humble yourself Oh my brothers it is Wadada wo-oh-oh wadada Who I-lier than I-ly Wadada wo-oh-oh wadada Means love in Africa Wadada wo-ho-ho wadada Love I-niversally My interpretation love universal Wadada wo-ho-ho wadada Love in Africa Love in America Love in Canada Wadada wo-ho-ho wadada Who I-lier than I-ly Wadada wo-ho-ho wadada Every knee shall bend (shall bend, shall bend) Every tongue shall tell (shall tell, shall tell) Down in this valley, down in this valley Down in this valley of Jehoshaphat Where is your love Jamaicans? Where is your love Jamaicans? Where is your love Jamaicans? I can't see your love I can't feel your love Nor even touch your love I don't know about your love Taught them the way to love one another Wadada wo-ho-ho wadada Who I-lier than I-ly Wadada wo-ho-ho wadada Black guidance be with I Wadada wo-ho-ho wadada Even within I-man black race Wadada wo-ho-ho wadada No plague shall come up on I, to eat up I flesh Wadada wo-ho-ho wadada Keep them away Wadada Keep them away Wadada Wadada wo-ho-ho wadada Black Wadada Revive for I and I Wadada wo-ho-ho wadada Food, clothes and shelter Wadada wo-ho-ho wadada Grant unto I my heart desire Wadada wo-ho-ho wadada Each and everyone entitled to their heart's desire Wadada wo-ho-ho wadada Be with I and I and I Wadada wo-ho-ho wadada They take us away from Africa
