1640 V A
John Punch tried to run away
Sentenced for his life, a slave
The families say
When you coming home?
The families say
When you coming home?
225 years of hell
Started in America that day
Folks from Africa taken away
Half a million souls
Out on the water
It is so cold
Where the hell are we going?
The moon is the same
But now I'm all alone now
Families say
When you coming home?
Franklin and Armfield took their turn
Largest slave trading firm (Use and abuse)
Hate, profit and cruelty
Their specialty and the norm
Half a million souls
Out on the water
It's so cold
Where the hell are we going?
The moon is the same
But now I'm all alone now
Families say
When you coming home?
(Slave trade, while they take us away)
Think of this injustice
To the human race
Restitution, remembrance and recovery
Must take place now
Half a million souls
Out on the water
It's so cold
Where the hell are we going?
The moon is the same
But now I'm all alone now
Families say
When you coming home?
Looking at the sea
Wishing you coming home now
Day and night wishing you coming home now
You coming home now
When you coming home
