African Homeland - Cynthia Erivo/Joaquina Kalukango/Color Purple New Broadway Cast/Brenda Russell/Allee Willis/Stephen Bray

Dear Celia oh I love you

Years go by and still you're with me

All we share is one big sky

I pray for your reply

When mister threw me out that day I was so mad

I ran straight to the church

But when the reverend's wife opened the door

She had two little children with her

And something about those children made my mad go away

So I asked her if they needed help with those children

And they told me they were going to Africa as missionaries

And maybe I could come with them

Nettie a missionary

And then one day on that boat over here

The reverend asked me about my family

So I told him about you and everything that happened to ya

And he told me Celia he's the one pa gave your babies to

Adam and Olivia are right here with me

My babies

I teach your children abcs

For a missionary family

These babies sent by god are yours

Adam and Olivia

Alive

I vibrated like a bell when I saw the African coast

And I kneeled down and thanked god

Thank god

For letting us see the land

Where our mothers and fathers died

African homeland

Homeland

Land of my people people

People

We are going to be working with a tribe called

The olinka

My people

Eeleeyah ooday

It was like black seeing black for the first time

Shiny blue black people looking real fine

In brilliant blue robes that fly on the winds

Like a beautiful quilt stitched together by friends

You could put everything I knew in a thimble

What we're taught to be don't resemble

The kings and queens who for thousands of years

Ruled magnificent cities washed away by tears

Celie Celie

Ee yea ahn ya

Celie what are you doin'

Nothin'

Well I ain't never seen you just sit

Look

Good mornin'

Y'all want some breakfast

I wish I could but I got to go

Take this on outside to the car

Soon as he get back from town I think I'm gonna kill him

No bible says don't kill

Nope I think I feel better if I kill him

No you won't nobody ever feel better for killin' nothin'

Think of me think of Nettie

Goodbye

Celie I've been teaching the olinka children to read

But some of the women have become very suspicious of me

Because girls have never been taught to read here

Girls have never been taught anything at all

I don't understand everything they're saying

But what it sounds like to me is

What this mess you been preachin'

Why you tryin' to change us

They think I should be married

Girl ain't nothin' with no man

Why you makin' a big fuss

Need a husband and children

Or you're gonna be nothing

I am nobody's mother

But I am somebody

Girls don't need education

Sound like the white folks back home

Best be knowing your station

But not my Olivia

Magenta

Our village was destroyed by the soldiers

So now we have walked with so many other refugees

To a tent camp across the border

We walk away from this ravaged land

With courage deep in our hearts

To face the unknown

Together

We'll find a place where we can be

Where spirit rise and soul is free

Our people my people

I have faith that god will let us see

Each other again before we die Celia

And you must have faith too

I only hope that when that day comes

We're not too old to recognise each other

We walk away
