Open Up the Gate

Open up the gates of Zion

Africa, we want to go

Africa, we want to go

Repatriation is at hand

I and I know where the black man stand

I and I know where the black man stand

To the West Coast of Africa

East, north and south, repatriation is a must

Repatriation is a must

Jah said unto the South, "Give up"

(Give up)

To the West, "Keep not back"

(Not back)

Send my sons from afar and my daughters from the end of the world

Send my sons from afar and my daughters from the end of the world

Hallelujah

Please send the Father, the Almighty One of Creation

In man, living inna man, y'all

The Mighty Redeemer, the word, sound and iwa

Living inna man, y'all

Ooh, hallelujah

Listen to Father, the Mighty Bongo Ashanti, I and I

I-I, living inna I and I

Mighty, Mighty Redeemer, Creation

Oh, yeah, to the West Coast of Africa

East, north and south, repatriation is a must

Repatriation is a must

He said unto the South, "Give up"

(Give up)

To the West, "Keep not back"

(Not back)

Send my sons from afar and my daughters from the end of the world

Send my sons from afar and the daughters from the end of the world

In Jah, oh, in Jah-lujah

Hallelu-elu, halle-allelujah

Mighty Redeemer of Creation

Living inna I and I

Jah, I and, I and I and I, I-uh, I-uh, I-uh

Hallelujah

Send afar that Mighty One

I pledge I and I are in my, in my, each and every one, y'all

My faith, living, fill us, fill us, humble, I am humble

Living inna man, I and I

I and I, I and I, I and I, humble, humble, I, I, I, I the Lord, ah

I order living inna, inna I, y'all

Hallelujah
