Congo to the Mississippi
From the Congo to the Mississippi
I want to see people living free
From the Congo to the Mississippi
I want to see people living free
I heard it said, I heard it said to me
Be the change in the world you want to see
But oh such a simple truth
Will remain such a mystery
From the Congo to the Mississippi
I want to see people living free
From the Congo to the Mississippi
I want to see people living free
[sang in Kikongo]
Tu vilakana mambi ma ntama
Ma tu lundanga mu mi ntima mieto
E ba nkaka lu zibula mazita
Tua zingila my ntemo ye luzolo
**English Translation**
Let's forget all grudges
We've been keeping in our hearts
Let the ancestors open the knots
For us to live in light and love
From the Congo to the Mississippi
I want to see people living free
From the Congo to the Mississippi
I want to see people living free
I heard it said I heard it said to me
Be the change in the world you want to see
But oh such a simple truth
Will remain such a mystery
From the Congo to the Mississippi
I want to see people living free
From the Congo to the Mississippi
I want to see people living free (repeat until end of song)
