Congo

Now could we go to the square they call Congo
I need to go and lay my feet upon the stone
Where the first of us stood
before, before, before
Where we came and played to
Revive our depleted souls
Where we went to forget our
Freedom was not our own
Where we went to hold onto the
Memory of way back home

Now could we
Now could we
Now could we go

Get to congo, get to congo congo
Get to congo, get to congo congo
(Repeat)

Now could we go to the square they call Congo
I need to go and lay my feet upon the stones
Where the first of us stood
Before, before, before
Where we made music in
Remembrance of human bodies sold
Where the sound of an old pain
Became a new music of hope
Where they paved me a road so
I could get to congo

Now could we
Now could we
Now could we go

(Chorus)

And I would not be here today
If they had not been
So displaced so displaced
But still
But still they made time to sing and play a song
A song in congo

(Chorus)
