Mama Africa

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
