I met on the road in Johannesburg
I was searching for my roots
I didn't know where to go
So, he told me, try down my brother,
in the search for your ancestor
An d if you seek, you shall find,
and through the pages of time
I found joy and happiness
I found joy and I found happiness
When I found my roots, my roots, my roots,
yeah, my roots, my roots, oh
Let me tell you about a soul
that has been searching so long
And can't really find the home,
Weeping willow, don't call my name
Weeping willow, don't call my name
Now come let me tell you about a race
That has been oppressed for so long
Some have really lost their
I found joy and happiness
I found joy and I found happiness
It's the story of a people
That travel the triangle route
Sons and daughters of kings and queens
And don't you think I'm pointing fingers,
And the only way we can make a change
Is by accepting the rights
Equal rights and justice for all
