Story behind the song
(where they were supposed to perform this as an act of forgetting their families and their homeland before departing to foreign lands…..We will never forget!!)
Lyrics
I can’t see my mother I’m missing my brother But I can see this turning tree Before me Tears fall down like rain Chained hands feel the pain Naked Silhouettes with heads bowed down In shame One turn.. ..Time to cry Two turns.. ..Say Goodbye Three turns Why oh why oh why Turn Around Turn Around You won’t be coming back again Every woman girl Every boy & man Bound and chained for a new land Turn Around Turn Around You won’t be coming back again Every woman girl Every boy & man Bound and chained for a new land Turn Around Turn Around Turn Around Turn Around They can change my name And increase the pain But the memories I keep with me Remain Turn Around Turn Around Turn Around Turn Around Turn Around… Tree of No Return (Instrumental Reprise) ©2004 (Turn Around Turn Around)
