Amel Larrieux Congo Lyrics

Congo Lyrics

Now could we go to the square they call Congo

I need to go and lay my feet upon the stone

Where the first of us stood before, before, before

Where we came and played to revive our depleted souls

Where we went to forget our freedom was not our own

Where we went to hold onto the memory of way back home



Now could we

Now could we

Now could we go



Get to cong, get to cong congo

Get to cong, get to cong congo

Repeat



Now could we go to the square they call Congo

I need to go and lay my feet upon the stones

Where the first of us stood before, before, before

Where we made music in remembrance of human bodies sold

Where the sound of an old pain became a new music of hope

Where they paved me a road so I could get to congo



Now could we

Now could we

Now could we go



chorus



And I would not be here today if they had not been 

so displaced so displaced

But still

But still they made time to sing and play a song

A song in congo



chorus
