Africa, Africa,
say we're moving on
Africa, Africa, we're moving on
Mama Africa is calling so
we're moving on
We're now five miles off of Africa
Sailing on the black star liner
We are five miles off of Africa
Sailing on the black star liner
Say that we are 5
miles off of Africa
Sailing on the black star liner
5 miles off of Africa
Sailing on the black star liner
It's so wonderful to see
Her mama Africa is calling me
The grass is so green,
the air is so clean
The people I meet,
they don't treat me mean
Love and affection is all I get
Mama Africa, I'll never forget
Mr. Garvey made it possible to see
A land of love and opportunity
Right now, five miles off of Africa
Sailing on the black star lin er
Five miles off of Africa
Sailing on the black star liner
Africa, moving on
Africa, yes we're moving on
Africa, we're moving on
Africa, yes we're moving on
I imagine how it would be
Stepping on that land only that
I have dreamed
Animals are roaming so
wild and so free
And Mama Africa is calling to me
In a whisper she is saying to me
Liberation is all we need
We have to work together in
order to achieve
Freedom and unity
For all Afrikans, we're now
5 miles off of Africa
Sailing on the black star liner
Yes we are 5 miles off of Africa
Sailing on the black star liner
We are 5 miles off of Africa
Sailing on the black star liner
Yes we are 5 miles off of Africa
Sailing on the Black Star Liner
Five miles off of Africa
So long we've been gone
Sailing on the Black Star Lin er
Never 500 years
Five miles off of Africa
Sailing on the Black Star Liner
I see home
Five miles off of Africa
Home sweet
Sailing on the Black Star Liner
I see home
Five miles off of Africa,
home sweet home
