lirik lagu john punch – dukes of roots
[verse 1]
1640 va
john punch tried to run away
sentenced for his life, a slave
the families say, “when you coming home now?”
the families say, “when you coming home now?”
[verse 2]
two*hundred*twenty*five years of h*ll
started in america that day
folks from africa taken away (sisters from africa, from africa)
[chorus]
half a million souls out on the water (souls)
it’s so cold, where the h*ll are we going?
the moon is the same, but now i’m all alone now
families say, “when you coming home?”
[verse 3]
franklin and armfield took their turn
largest slave trading firm (use and abuse)
hate profit and cruelty (oh)
their specialty and their norm
[chorus]
half a million souls out on the water (souls)
it’s so cold, where the h*ll are we going? oh
the moon is the same, but now i’m all alone now
families say, “when you coming home?”
[bridge]
(slave trade, while they take us away)
think of this injustice to the human race
restitution (restitution, restitution)
remembrance and recovery must take place now (ooh)
[chorus]
half a million souls (half a million souls) out on the water (oh, souls)
it is so cold, where the h*ll are we going? (so cold)
the moon is the same (all the same but now), but now i’m all alone now (i’m so alone, so alone)
looking at the sea, wishing you coming home now (yeah, come home)
day and night (day and night), wishing you coming home now
you coming home now (coming home)
when you coming home? (when are you coming home now?)
