    Why do I relate this song with what's happening in Africa? We are being sold to the West and the East through long term debts that end up only benefiting the lenders and a few Africans leaders through corruption.

      This song makes us Africans sad because slavery is taking place in a different format big up from Kenya 🇰🇪 🇰🇪

    Once upon a time, not so long ago
    When things were much much simple
    And time would travel slow
    There came a righteous stranger
    With a Bible in his hand
    To educate the sinners
    And liberate the land
    The sins of the fathers
    Are visited from old
    In a never ending circle
    Of people bought and sold
    So the wretched of the earth
    Would huddle from the cold
    As a ship of fools go sailing
    On an ocean black as gold
    So come and sit beside me
    And let my tale unfold
    In a land on milk and honey
    Where the truth must not be told
    As men of right and reason
    Let the devil take their soul
    For greed and fame and fortune
    And a river black as gold
    The sins of the fathers
    Are visited from old
    In a never ending circle
    Of people bought and sold
    So the wretched of the earth
    Would huddle from the cold
    As a ship of fools go sailing
    On an ocean black as gold
    (..)
    And all the non believers
    Where hiding from the light
    As a thousand burning crosses
    Were scattered in the night
    The thieves and the vagabonds
    Were sinking in the sand
    As a righteous lord and master
    Stretches out a helping hand
    The sins of the fathers
    Are visited from old
    In a never ending circle
    Of people bought and sold
    So the wretched of the earth
    Would huddle from the cold
    As a ship of fools go sailing
    On an ocean black as gold
    And those who had to suffer
    The sick the young the old
    Where sacrifice to fortune
    And left out in the cold
    So with this new arrangement
    The leaders sold their souls
    For bangles, beads and baubles
    And a river black as gold
    The sins of the fathers
    Are visited from old
    In a never ending circle
    Of people bought and sold
    So the wretched of the earth
    Would huddle from the cold
    As a ship of fools go sailing
    On an ocean black as gold
    The sins of the fathers
    Are visited from old
    In a never ending circle
    Of people bought and sold
    So the wretched of the earth
    Would huddle from the cold
    As a ship of fools go sailing
    On an ocean black as gold
    ....soo.soo.good

    This song reminds me those days back when I was growing up somewhere up country. Am whom I am today because of this mighty band. My day used to love them so much. They were so dearly that the entire family knew nothing more. I heard later that the members parted ways. I don't know why but what they did to us their fans is beyond repair.

    "when things were much more simple and time would travel slow" 0:25 "there came a righteous changer with a bible in his hand, to educate the sinners and liberate their lands." Is the composer sarcstically using the words "righteous" to describe the missionaries who were a step to colonisation?
