In Tanzania there is a humor saying, “the one who knows the real father of the child is a mother”
People feels much better after knowing where are there roots where are they originated. You sometime might think you are a residence of this or that estate but when you try to trace where your grand - grand parents came from you might be surprised. The inspiration of the Swahili phrase is a key phrase for the whole song, where by a child is asking the mother to take him to his father’s land so that he can meet the grannies and grandpas, where is your fathers land?
