I Return Lyrics & Tabs by Macka B
I Return
guitar chords lyrics
Mama yeah, mama yeah, yo
When we were taken away from Africa
They said that we would never return
But through the indomitable spirit
Of the ancestors and the powers of the Most High, Rastafari
I return to the land of no return
Yes, I return, yes I return
To the land of no return, yes I return, yes I return
To the land of no return
Yes, I return, yes I return
To the land of no return, yes I return
I am my ancestors, my ancestors are I
Their spirit live inna I and I, it can never die
Now I have turned their sadness and turned it into joy
I can say to my ancestors wipe those tears from your eye
'Cause I return to the land of no return
Yes, I return, yes I return
To the land of no return, yes I return, yes I return
To the land of no return
Yes, I return, yes I return
To the land of no return, yes I return
Mama say eh son a you dat
Welcome my son, hey you come back
Say you left inna chain and padlock
Come back inna plane with pilot
Mama know say mi woulda make contact
Mama know say mi deh 'pon the right track
See the ancestor's 'pon the hill top
Them a laugh and chat that
I return to the land of no return
Yes, I return, yes I return
To the land of no return, yes I return, yes I return
To the land of no return
Yes, I return, yes I return
To the land of no return, yes I return
So where do I come from in Africa
Well I guess I come from the West
But people a travel inna Africa long before any Jumbo jets
Scientists say they can pinpoint
Where you come from with a DNA test
Identify part of your family
But what about all of the rest
'Cause your mother coulda come from Ghana
And your father come from Botswana
Great granny coulda come from Gambia
Grandfather come from Rwanda
Ithipoia, Kenya, Uganda
All we really can do is just wonder
So any country we touch inna Africa
We say Hallelujah
'Cause I return to the land of no return
Yes, I return, yes I return
To the land of no return, yes I return, yes I return
To the land of no return
Yes, I return, yes I return
To the land of no return, yes I return
What a day, what a day, what a day, what a day
They could not keep us away
Them a say, them a say, them a say, them a say
You'll never come back no way
What a day, what a day, what a day, what a day
Every night we hope and we pray
Give thanks and praise every night and day
That we can say that
I return to the land of no return
Yes, I return, yes I return
To the land of no return, yes I return, yes I return
To the land of no return
Yes, I return, yes I return
To the land of no return, yes I return
