Before I Grow Old

I wanna see America
Never been to Australia
Take me to Africa
Talk to the People
Got to meet with the People
I am my Village, my Village is me, is it all that I’ll ever be?
Here I was born, yes here I was raised, just like all of my Family
They Say it’s not good, not necessary, they say it’s to dangerous
To leave dis ya town, to leave our village, will destroy the family
I wanna see America, they say it’s the land of the free,
I wanna go to Africa, they say it’s full of joyful people,
Take me to Australia, they say it’s full of myth and music
Take me into Asia, let me see before I grow old
See the World!
All my tears go out to those who try to hold me back
And all my sympathy for those who do not care
All my love for those who try to understand me
And all my joy for those who come along with me
I wanna see America, they say it’s the land of the free,
I wanna go to Africa, they say it’s full of joyful people,
Take me to Australia, they say it’s full of myth and music
Take me into Asia, let me see before I grow old
Walk to the People
Talk to the People
Got to interact, huh!
Talk to the People
Jam with the People
You got to walk to the people
See the World!
Talk to the People
I wanna see America, they say it’s the land of the free,
I wanna go to Africa, they say it’s full of joyful people,
Take me to Australia, they say it’s full of myth and music
Take me into Asia, let me see before I grow old
