Open up the gates of Zion Africa we want to go Africa we want to go Repatriation is, at hand I and I know where the black man stands I and I know where the black man stands To the west coast of Africa East, north and south Repatriation is, a must of Ion Repatriation is, a must Jah said unto the south 'give up!' (give up!) To the west 'keep not back!' (not back!) Send my sons from afar And my daughters from the end of the world Send my sons from afar And my daughters from the end of the world Hallelujah! Please, send the Father The Almighty One of Creation, in man Living inna man yah The Mighty Redeemer The Word, Sound and Iwa Living inna man yah Ooh, Hallelujah! Listen to Father The Almighty, the Bongo Ashanti, aah I, aah I Living inna I and I Mighty, Mighty Redeemer of Creation, ah yeah To the west coast of Africa East, north and south Repatriation is, a must of Ion Repatriation is, a must of Ion Jah said unto the south 'give up!' (give up!) To the west 'keep not back!' (not back!) Send my sons from afar And my daughters from the end of the world Send my sons from afar And my daughters from the end of the world
