open up the gate

The Congos

Open up the gates of Zion
Africa we want to go
Africa we want to go...

Repatriation is at hand
I and I know where the Black man stands...

To the west coast of Africa
East, north and south
Repatriation is a must...

Jah said unto the south 'give up!'
To the west 'keep not back!'
Send my sons from afar
And my daughters from
The end of the world...

Hallelujah
Please send the Father
The Almighty One of Creation
Living inna man
The Almighty Redeemer
The Word, Sound and Iwa
Living inna man, yeah!

Ooh allelujah!
Listen to Father
Almighty Bongo Ashanti I and I
Living inna I and I
Mighty, mighty Redeemer of Creation...
