[Intro]
So much, so much, yeah, so much
So tell me can you feel it
So much, so much
Much, care, so much
Then make that visit
So much, so much, love, so much
Senegal can you feel it
So much, so much, yeah, so much

[Chorus]
So much love to share
Pure blackness wantness, so rare
So much love to care
Let them know they missing out
(Mama Africa has) so much love to share
Sweet blackness wantness be there
So much love to care
Let them know they missing out
Sing again

[Verse 1]
A - Is for all the love and the life took away
F - Don't forget we were bought and trade
R - Rippеd from the land and shipped away
I - Is the inspiration wе use to survive
C - Have to see it with your own cries
A - No play add it up and arrive
Still you don't know
The land is so gold and green
The place is so fresh and clean
And everyday I water my garden
Tell if you feel I deep in your heart and
The space is so cool and nice
Visit once guaranteed to visit twice
And if you just believe in the Most High
I know you'll be all right, mama Africa has

[Chorus]
So much love to share
Pure blackness wantness, so rare
So much love to care
And let them know they missing out
(Mama Africa has) so much love to share
Sweet blackness wantness be there
So much love to care
And let them know they missing out
Sing again

[Verse 2]
A - That's my favorite place when I need to get away
F - Must forget but we can't forget to pray
R - Flight lands right on the runway
I - In my homeland and I'm feeling so alive
C - Imagine Africa unite
A - Go on an accept her now it's all right
Still you don't know
Skin is so dark and brown
She lifts me right off the ground
But no, you're not gonna see it on your TV
So yo', just listen up and believe me
Her trees have the only cure
Her love is so new and pure
Had to kiss them troubles goodbye bye
No I don't have to lie
Mama Africa you got

[Chorus]
So much love to share
Pure blackness wantness, so rare
So much love to care
And let them know they missing out
(Mama Africa has) so much love to share
Sweet blackness wantness be there
So much love to care
And let them know they missing out
Sing again

[Bridge]
So much, so much, love so much
So tell me can you feel it
So much, so much care, so much
Then make that visit
So much, so much love, so much
Senegal now can you feel it
So much, so much yeah, so much
So much love to share
I just can't see how we living without it
So much love to care
Don't miss; don't miss one moment about it
So much love to share
Resist it's bliss though I really doubt it
So much love to care
So much love

[Chorus]
So much love to share
Pure blackness wantness, so rare
So much love to care
And let them know they missing out
(Mama Africa has) so much love to share
Sweet blackness wantness be there
So much love to care
And let them know they missing out
Sing again
