Come Home

VERSE 1
400 years lost in Babylon
A captive child of a slave
Western lands that I do not know
A language strange to me
Everyday I dream of a land
Beyond these shores
Where shackles no more exist
My mind is free to live
Only my hands and feet are free
If I speak my mind I'll be victimized
I look to Yah for the answer
I bow toward the east and

CHORUS
I feel a breeze blowing
Blowing from mount zion
Gathering Yah children
To the promised land
Yes a breeze that's blowing
From Mama Africa
Calling out her children to come home
Come home my child


VERSE 2
I have no place in the system
Yah show me your way
Lead me to Africa
Helping others along the way
At times I feel at peace
In the island breeze
But I know
This is not my home
My mind is never at ease
Only my hands and feet are free
If I speak my mind I'll be victimized
I look to Yah for the answer
I bow toward the east and

CHORUS
I feel a breeze blowing
Blowing from Mount Zion
Gathering Yah children
To the promised land
Yes a breeze that's blowing
From Mama Africa
Calling out her children to come home
Come home my child

INTERLUDE

CHORUS
And I feel
A breeze blowing
Blowing from mount Zion
Gathering Yah children
To the promised land
Yes a breeze that's blowing
From Mama Africa
Calling out her children to come home
Come home my child
