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
