Mama Africa - Peter Tosh

Mama Africa

How are you doing Mama

Mama Africa

Long time me no see you Mama

They took me away from you Mama

Long before I was born

They took me away from you Mama

Long before I came on in

There’s so many things about you

Wondering where you are

They try their best to hide you Mama

But I search and I find you

In you there’s so much beauty

In you there’s so much life

In you there’s so many kingdoms

To me it’s out of sight

You’re the maker of gold Mama

You’re the maker of diamond

You’re the maker of pearls

And the maker of all precious goals

I’ve been waiting, yearning, looking

Searching to find you

I’ve been crying, praying hoping

That I may find you Mama

You’re my mother Africa

You’re my father Africa

I’m proud of you Mama

I love you Mama

I’m proud of you Mama

I love you heavenly
