Lyrics

So much, so much love, so much So tell me, can you feel it? So much, so much care You long for home, then make that visit So much, so much love, so much Senegal can you feel it? So much, so much care, so much So much love to share Pure blackness, oneness so rare So much love to care Let them know they're missin' out Mama Africa So much love to share Sweet blackness, oneness be there So much love to care Let them know they're missin' out, sing again (A) this is for all the love and the life took away (F) don't forget we were bought and trade (R) ripped from the land and shipped away, ay (I) is the inspiration we use to survive (C) have to see it with your own cry (A) don't play add it up and arrive (Still you don't know) The land is so gold and green The place is so fresh and clean And everyday I water my garden Tell if you feel it deep in your heart, and This place is so cool and nice Visit once, guaranteed to visit twice And if you just believe in the most high I know you'll be all right, Mama Africa So much love to share Pure blackness, oneness so rare So much love to care Let them know they're missin' out Mama Africa, you So much love to share Sweet blackness, oneness be there So much love to care And let them know they're missin' out, sing again (A) that's my favorite place when I need to get away (F) must forgive, but we can't forget to pray (R) flight lands right on the runway (I) in my homeland and I'm feelin' so alive (C) hear me chant, "Africa unite" (A) got an accent, but that's alright (Still you don't know) Her skin is so dark and brown She lifts me right off the ground But no you not gon' see it on your TV So yo, just listen up and believe me Her trees have the only cure Her love is so new and pure Had to kiss them troubles goodbye, bye No, I don't have to lie Mama Africa, you got So much love to share Pure blackness, oneness so rare So much love to care Let them know that they're missin' out Mama Africa So much love to share Sweet blackness, oneness be there So much love to care And let them know that they're missin' out, Mama Africa So much, so much love, so much So tell me, can you feel it? So much, so much care, so much If you long for home, then make that visit So much, so much love, so much Senegal can you feel it? So much, so much care, so much So much love to share I just can't see how we're livin' without it So much love to care Don't miss, don't miss one moment about it So much love to share Resist this bliss, yo, I really doubt it So much love to care So much love So much love to share (ooh, yeah) Pure blackness, warmness so rare (nothing cross my mind) So much love to care Let them know they're missin' out (feeling it all the time) So much love to share Sweet blackness, oneness, be there So much love to care (you better be there, better be there) Let them know they missin' out, sing again
