African Homeland The Color Purple Broadway Cast (Ft. Cynthia Erivo & Joaquina Kalukango)

[Nettie]
Dear Celie, oh I love you
Years go by and still you're with me
All we share is one big sky
I pray for your reply

[Nettie] (spoken)
When Mister threw me out that day, I was so mad
I ran straight to the church, but when the Reverend's wife opened the door, she had two little children with her
And something about those children made my mad go away

So I asked her if they needed help with those children
And they told me they were going to Africa as missionaries
And maybe I could come with them

[Celie] (spoken)
Nettie a missionary

[Nettie] (spoken)
And then one day on that boat over here, the Reverend asked me about my family, so I told him about you and everything that happened to ya

And he told me, Celie, he's the one Pa gave your babies to
Adam and Olivia are right here with me

[Celie] (spoken)
My babies
