[Intro]
I wanna go, to the righteous land
I wanna see your face, Jah
[Chorus]
Africa we want fi go, zion I we want
Africa we want fi go, zion I we want
[Refrain]
Take my soul, oh, Jah, take my brother, Jah
Take my sister, Jah, take the babe and suckling
Out of the ghetto too, take my soul, oh, Jah
That's the place I want to be, all through my life
So, take my soul, oh, Jah, take me right now
Oh, Jah, take me now
[Verse 1]
I want go where the righteous one is now
I wanna see your face right now, Jah
Africa, that's where I want to go, Jah

[Chorus]
Africa we want fi go, zion I we want
Africa we want fi go, zion I we want
[Refrain]
Take my soul, oh, Jah, take my brothers too
Take my sisters, Jah, take my mama too
Take me out of Babylon
I wanna see your face
I wanna see your face
[Chorus]
Africa we want fi go, zion I we want
Africa we want fi go, zion I we want
[Verse 2]
It's been a long time, I've been calling upon you
I want you hear my cry, I want you hear my cry
[Refrain]
Take my soul, oh, Jah, take my heart, oh, Jah
Take my brothers, Jah, take my sister, Jah
[Outro]
Jah Almighty!
Oh, almighty Selassie
