  • Dry your tears, Afrika. Your children are coming home. We're coming home, Afrika. Hush child, don't cry- song a song of joy. We're coming home, Afrika.

    -Original translation of the lyrics. Oh, and all you racist bastards out there like KingsleyEnnis or whatever your name is- go back to the 1600s. You and your outdated ideas don't belong in this time.

  • @HaleyAleina It's a bit more serious than that, I think. Racism isn't just outdated, it's immoral. And it doesn't belong in ANY time.

It's my dream one day to help those in need and anybody can make a difference if they believe in themselves <3! This song allows us to realize that giving someone freedom and happiness is the most wonderful thing! It's just inspirational...:")! Thank you whoever posted this and thank you John Williams and all those who were involved making this. You are all awesome :D!
