You say that I put chains on you
  But I don't think that's really true
  But if you want to be free from me
  You gotta lose me in another world
    Send me to the Congo I'm free to leave
  There's always somewhere anybody can lead
  Send me to the Congo you have to believe
  You can do it if you wanna just do what you please
    Like a soldier ant
  I will wait for the signal to act
  To take a walk right through the door
  If you don't want me here any more
    Send me to the Congo I'm free to leave
  There's always somewhere anybody can lead
  Send me to the Congo you have to believe
  You can do it if you wanna just do what you please
    Into my heart you came
  And gave a whole new meaning to my life
  Into my world you brought a light
  I thought it never would go out
    Send me to the Congo I'm free to leave
  There's always somewhere anybody can lead
  Send me to the Congo you have to believe
  You can do it if you wanna just do what you please
    You can send me to the Congo I'm free to leave
  There's always somewhere anybody can lead
  Yes you can send me to the Congo, you have to believe
  You can do it if you wanna just do what you please
    I would never be the one to say you had no reason
  To want me somewhere else far far away
  But someday you may understand, someday you will see
  That someone who would die for you is all I've ever been
    Congo the Congo, if that's how it's got to be
  Congo the Congo, if that's what you want from me
    I would never be the one to say you had no reason
  To want me somewhere else far far away
  Someday you may understand someday you will see...
