Lyrics
Yah know seh, we haffi go back to whea you from Y’know, yeah, cause everybody’s from somewhere A Shasha Marley and di Monsoon ah seh There is no hiding place down there; there is no hiding place down there I went to the rocks to hide my face, the rocks cried out no hiding place There is no hiding place down there Oh, the sinner man he stumbles and he falls Yes, the sinner man he stumbles and he falls, oh mama The sinner man he stumbles, he stumbles and he falls He wants to go to heaven, but he must go to hell, eh! Oh, the sinner man he stumbles and he falls I went to the rocks to hide my face The rocks cried out, no hiding place, eh! There is no hiding place down there The sinner man he stumbles, he stumbles and he falls He wants to go to heaven, but he must go to hell, eh! Oh the sinner man he stumbles and he falls RAP Ready fi go back a land whea mi from Nah spend noh more time a Babylon Cause everything we do dem a seh dat we wrong Why we get so much blame me cyaa undastand To a me bredda a mi sistas if yuh ready let’s go Life a we have yah know, we cyaa let go From tha suburbs go straight to the ghetto Repatriation it is a muss, it a wi motto (CHORUS) So I say sail away home to Ghana, sail sail away home (Ghana I’m coming back home) I say sail away home to Ghana, sail sail away home (Ghana I’m coming back home) One bright summer when the war is over, I’ll sail away home I say one bright summer time when the war is over, I’ll sail away home Oh Jah, am going back home to Ghana my motherland Ghana, the gateway to Africa Cos am freezing here in Chicago, am freezing here in Toronto Whilst there is sunshine up high in my country yeah yeah Ghana, am coming back home CHORUS Swing low, swing chariot Coming forth to carry me home I see a band of angels coming out for me, coming forth to carry me home Open the gates of Africa, remove the barrier Hurry all West Indians, hurry African Americans Repatriation, repatriation, am going back home to Ghana my motherland Ghana the gateway to Africa Cos am fed up with living in America and Europe Cos there is freedom up high in Africa, yeah Ghana, am coming back home
