(CHORUS)Mama AfricaHow are you doing MamaMama AfricaLong time me no see you MamaThey took me away from you MamaLong before I was bornThey took me away from you MamaLong before I came on inCHORUSThere's so many things about youWondering where you areThey try their best to hide you MamaBut I search and I find youCHORUSIn you there's so much beautyIn you there's so much lifeIn you there's so many kingdomsTo me it's out of sightCHORUSYou're the maker of gold MamaYou're the maker of diamondYou're the maker of pearlsAnd the maker of all precious goalsCHORUSI've been waiting, yearning, lookingSearching to find youI've been crying, praying hopingThat I may find you MamaCHORUSYou're my mother AfricaYou're my father AfricaCHORUS I'm proud of you MamaI love you MamaI'm proud of you MamaI love you heavenlyCHORUS
