Story Behind the Song
My friend, Mullugata and I were at lunch one day when he exploded " me no waan live yaso no more star, me no waan live 'mongst no rum drinker, shirt lifter or grave dirt sprinkler, me waan go a Africa"! Wow, I said, this sounds like a song. I went home that night and wrote Place In The Hills for him and played it over the phone, he was really moved. Shortly after, he left corporate America and embarked on a soul searching journey through many states and countries. Respect Mullu', one love. Marcia
Lyrics
I see a place in the hills
Lush valleys, daffodils
Food a-plenty, juice and wine
A place I know I gotta find
I don't wanna live here anymore
Jah, Jah, just even out the score
And put all of those who wanna be
Evil, with the evil society
Oh Jah uplifteth me
Cos I don't wanna
Live 'mongst no warmonger
I don't wanna see no shirt lifter
Dem and de grave dirt sprinkler
I just wanna go back to Africa
(Back to Africa)
I see a house built of wood
Living the way I know I should
Prince and princesses living right
What an irie, irie sight
Money problems gone away
Come on my people help me pray
That you and I will live to see
Blessing inna fe we society
Wooa peace and harmony
Cos I don't wanna
Live 'mongst no warmonger
I don't wanna see no shirt lifter
Dem and de grave dirt sprinkler
I just wanna go back to Africa
Back to Africa
Land of fore-fathers
Milk and honey
Juice and wine
Oh my brethren I know I'll find
Africa is present in my mind
Cos I don't wanna
Cos I don't wanna
Cos I don't wanna
I just want to go back to Africa
We have to go back to Africa - yea!
