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 CHORUS 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 CHORUS 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 CHORUS 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 CHORUS I've been waiting, yearning, looking Searching to find you I've been crying, praying hoping That I may find you Mama CHORUS You're my mother Africa You're my father Africa CHORUS I'm proud of you Mama I love you Mama I'm proud of you Mama I love you heavenly
