True Born Africa

Tell Saint Peter at Africa's gate
I'm coming home though I may be late
Tell him it's a long, long haul
The battle is fierce but now I'm standing tall
Maybe he'll ask you why I took so long
And he'll want to know how I'm getting along

Tell him that I'm doing well in spite of living in hell
I'm a true born African

Maybe he'll think I'm lost in a foreign land
And cease to be a natural African
Tell him that I'm doing well in spite of living in hell
Tell him that I'm coming home 'cause Africa is my home
I'm a true born African

Maybe he'll ask you why I took so long
And he'll want to know how I'm getting along
Maybe he'll think I'm lost in a foreign land
And cease to be a natural African
Tell him that I'm doing well in spite of living in hell
Tell him that I'm coming home 'cause Africa is my home
I'm a true born African
