Zimbabwe

I love the music - the sweet sweet music
The music of Zimbabwe
And I love this music - the beautiful music
The music of Zimbabwe

And it makes me feel good - well it lifts me up off my feet
Yes it makes me feel good - you know it makes me want to dance
And it brings us together - we don't feel so different anymore, no no
It brings us together - oh yeah yeah yeah

I can feel the music - down in my soul
The music of the Shona
I feel the music - warming up my heart now
The music of the Shona
I can feel the rhythm - pounding in my soul
The music of the Shona
I hear the harmony - opening my heart now
The music of the Shona

Yes I've always known her - somewhere down deep inside
A gift of the spirit - traveling through space and time
Somehow I've always known her - and her beautiful melody
A gift of the ancestors - every day they are calling to me

Comin' from Zimbabwe - like a seed it was borne on the wind
The music of the people
A gift of the fathers - a sound I can hear from within
The music of the people
Comin' from Zimbabwe - it landed on fertile ground
The music of the people
A gift of the mothers - circling round and round and round

Ngatifare vana ve Zimbabwe (let's celebrate the children of Zimbabwe)
Ngatifare vana ve America (let's celebrate the children of America)
Ngatifare vana venyika ino (let's celebrate the children of the world)

I feel I'm comin' home
I know I'm not alone
Yeah we're comin' home
