COMING HOME TO AFRICA

African Americans are descendants of native Africans. Their heritage did not begin with slavery that existed in America for 244 years. Their ancestors had rich cultures. African Americans are being encouraged, if not summoned, to go back to Africa, not physically, but in practice, to embrace those values that made Africans creators of the greatest civilizations that ever existed on Planet Earth.

Coming home, coming home,
We're just coming home,
Africa is our home;
We're just coming home,
It
's not far just close by
'Cross the deep blue sea;
Here too long, we've gotta go,
Going to fear no more;

Mother'
s land O' Africa,
Father'
s faith is there;
Lots of proud folk are there,
Folk who look like us;

Folk who look like usl!
Africa... Africa...
We'
re coming home.

Minds made up to come,
No more alibis,
No more blaming you know who,
No more crying poor and black:

Going to leave right now,
Africa we're on our way;

Coming home to stay;
Real life soon begins,

There's no turning around,
Just a moving on.
At the break of day
We'
ll be home for good;
Coming home, coming home,

We
're just coming home.
Africa is our home,

And we love our home!
W
e're just coming home!
Coming home to Africa!

SPIRITUALLY, WE CAN MAKE THIS TRIP AND 'COME HOME TO AFRICA', ANY TIME WE WISH. GRATEFULLY WE HONOR OUR 'GUIDE', ALMIGHTY GOD, FOR THE ENDUED STRENGTH OF PERSEVERANCE AS WE SAVOR THE INHERITED 'BEAUTY' OF OUR PAST...AND PRESENT HISTORY. THANKS FOR SHARING, URIAH AND GOD BLESS. MUCH LOVE AND FAITH...JOYCE * HIS INSPIRATIONS

An uplifting poem for uplifting times. A former tenant of mine–we keep in touch and and continue our friendship, is from Liberia. Founded by Americans and populated by Americans. She is here now and come home.
