The first recording I ever heard of "The Coffee Song" was by Osibisa, and a charmer it is, too.

There's a 1971 recording of the song by Osibisa here:
Wikipedia has an article about the group, which was formed in London in 1969.

We are going

Osibisa's discography including Woyaya (1971). Catchy tune, isn't it?

heaven knows where we are going
we know within

we will get there
heaven knows how we will get there
we know we will

it will be hard we know
and the road will be rugged and tough
but we'll get there
heaven knows how we will get there
we know we will

Has anyone ever heard of a song called (I think) "Wowaya"? I learned it as a child at Brooklyn Friends School, but recently remembered it when singing to by baby daughter.
