Lyrics
1640 VA
John Punch tried to run away
Sentenced for his life, a slave
The families say, "When you coming home, now?"
The families say, "When you coming home?"
Two hundred and twenty-five years of hell
Started in America, that day
Folks from Africa (from Africa) taken away (from Africa)
Half a million souls out on the water (souls)
It is so cold, where the hell are we going?
The moon is the same, but now I'm all alone now
Families say, "When you coming home?"
Franklin and Armfield took their turn
Largest slave trading firm (use and abuse)
Hate, profit and cruelty (ohh)
Their specialty and their norm
Half a million souls out on the water
It's so cold, where the hell are we going?
The moon is the same, but now I'm all alone
Families say, "When you coming home?"
(Slave trade, while they take us away)
Think of this injustice now to the human race
Restitution (restitution, restitution)
Remembrance and recovery must take place now
Half a million souls (half a million souls) out on the water (ohh)
It is so cold, where the hell are we going? (So cold)
The moon is the same (oh, the same, but now)
But now I'm all alone now (I'm so alone, so alone)
Looking at the sea wishing you coming home now
Day and night (day and night) wishing you coming home now
You coming home now (you coming home now)
When you coming home? (When are you coming home?)
