Artiste: Nat Brew
Album: Amandzeba

For we were there, we were there
When it shone
For we were there, we were there
When it shone
Say We were there, we were there
When it shone
Say We were there, we were there
When it shone
From Israel to Egypt
From Ethiopia to Sudan
When it shone
From Ayikushemanino
We prayed and we said dame and
When it shone
Soso Timbuktu, Ghana, Mali
Sumanguru you know when it shone
For we were there, we were there
When it shone
Soso Timbuktu, Ghana, Mali
Sumanguru you know when it shone
Kante Kemani no Sumanguru you know
We were just there
We were there when it shone
Osei Tutu you know
Kwaa Mansa you know
Yaa Asantewaa you know
When it shone
From Israel to Egypt
From Ethiopia to Sudan
When it shone
They claim they came to wipe our tears away
They wiped away our history
They claim they came to wipe our tears away
They wiped away our glory
So what do we turn to
So who do we turn to
So where do we turn to
So what do we turn to
So who do we turn to
So where do we turn to
They say there’s nowhere to turn to
But it’s not true
Come on everybody
We were there first then so we know
When heaps of lepers
We were there, we were there
When the walls of Jericho came tumbling down
We were there first then so we know
They claim they came to wipe our tears away
They wiped away our history
They claim they came to wipe our tears away
They wiped away our glory
So what do we turn to
So who do we turn to
So where do we turn to
So what do we turn to
So who do we turn to
So where do we turn to
They say there’s nowhere to turn to
But it’s not true
Come on everybody
We were there first then so we know
How can you expect
The birds from the storm
When you have no respect
For the land that it stands on
Let us sing our song
We were there first then so we know
Jomo Kenyatta
We are calling you from Israel to Egypt
We are calling you
Shaka the Zulu
We were there first then so we know
