For so long I’ve been searching,
For to long I’ve been searching.
Never was taught much about the homeland,
The information I received was always secondhand
And my soul has been yearning
While my memories have been learning
And in my heart there is a song
Since Kwanzaa came along.
African American brothers and sisters
Uniting to hold on to the culture.
I have been searching to so long,
For too long.
