[Verse 1]
From the grassfields down to the sea
From the marketplace noise to the tall palm trees
Grandma’s stories by the fire at night
Told me where I’m from, told me what feels right
[Chorus]
I’m going back to Cameroon in my mind
Where the colors and the rhythms all align
Culture in my blood, I carry it in time
Back to Cameroon
Freedom in my mind
[Verse 2]
Two roads met, and we chose to stand
Joined those lines, drew a heart in the sand
Different tongues, same laughter in the yard
Many flags, but the heartbeat’s one card
[Chorus]
I’m going back to Cameroon in my mind
Where the colors and the rhythms all align
Proud of every step along that long old line
Back to Cameroon
Freedom in my mind
[Bridge]
Sing it for the landslides, sing it for the plains (oh yeah)
Sing it for the crowded bus calling out our names
We argue, we forgive, still we rise, still we climb
’Cause home is in the courage to speak your mind
[Chorus]
I’m going back to Cameroon in my mind
Where the colors and the rhythms all align
Culture in my blood, I carry it in time
Back to Cameroon
Freedom in my mind
Back to Cameroon
Freedom in my mind
