Get To - Amel Larrieux

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 congo 
(repeat) 

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 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 bee 
so displace, so displaced 
But still 
But still they made time to sing and play a song 
A song in congo 

[chorus]
