Lyrics

REMEMBER IBO(Igbo) LANDING (May, 1803)

words & music: phil morrison

Remember IBO Landing
They walked into the sea
Until the last man standing
Their cry.. we must be free

From Africa their homeland
Across an ocean wide
In chains you hear them moanin'
In pain as many died

(bassline)

Remember IBO Landing
Where Africans rebel
Freedom they're demanding
Won't live their lives in hell!"

Saint Simons Island Georgia
Their final resting place
To end the constant torture
This inhumane disgrace

(bridge)
But spirits can't be broken
From the strong and brave
These Africans would rather die
Than live their lives as slaves

(bassline)

Remember IBO Landing
Along the Georgia shore
With bravery and courage
They marched towards heaven's door

Remember IBO Landing
It's where our heroes died
This history is sacred
Remember them with pride...but

(bridge)
Magical their power
Its source comes from the sky
Where angels call to paradise
Behold as freemen fly

(bassline)

Remember......IBO Landing
