Amel Larrieux - GET TO lyrics

rate me

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 cong, get to cong congo

Get to cong, get to congo

(repeat)

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 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 bee

so displace, so displaced

But still

But still they made time to sing and play a song

A song in congo

[chorus]
