They are a dance So when I touch the ground And when I plant my feet And when I call their names I am strong just like my daddy And I recall the joy of being free We are a dance So we move our way through life And we love our way through life And we laugh our way through life From Africa to Virginia Hey Mama Thank you for this dance Hey Mama Thank you for this dance They are sweet So when I sing my song And when I make my tea And when I light my candle I feel proud and I feel at peace And I recall the joy of being free We are a dance So we move our way through life And we love our way through life And we laugh our way through life (that's my way through life) From Africa to Virginia So many before me So many more beyond me There's a love for you and me Waiting for us everyday Callin' on ya now!
