Homeward Bound

Send down the clouds
Of red gold and green
Peace on earth for all men
But I hope the day
Will come once more
When we will reach the promised land
Jah Jah, show me that river (show me that river)
Take me across (take me across)
To the land of my forefathers' birth
Only the chosen few
Will reach the promised land
We gonna sail on the Black Star liner
Sail on the Black Star liner
Sail, homeward bound
I'm a man of peace
But if it's war, I'm not gonna run
I wanna see my brothers and sisters free
Oh, I hope I live to see the day
When all Africans will be free
Jah Jah, show me that river (show me that river)
Take me across (take me across)
To the land where I'll meet the King of kings
Only the chosen few
Will reach the promised land
We gonna sail on the Black Star liner
Sail on the Black Star liner
Sail, homeward bound
Send down the clouds
Of red gold and green
Peace on earth for all men
But I hope the day
Will come once more
When we will reach the promised land
Jah Jah, show me that river (show me that river)
Take me across (take me across)
To the land of my forefathers' birth
Only the chosen few
Will reach the promised land
We gonna sail on the Black Star liner
Sail on the Black Star liner
Sail, homeward bound
We gonna free all the brothers and sisters
Free all the mothers and fathers
Free, homeward bound
We gonna free all the African people
Free all the African children
