Welcome to Gaia! :: View User's Journal | Gaia Journals

i choose the song today to listen to not cause of the racial content of one but of manyand of a society of people.. the corporate people that take advantage of the weak and the poor..

i place this song out for all to read and hopefully they will know that there are those that feel like slaves and/or numbers that are not marked on our skin but are marked on our hearts, minds and souls .. know that we too grieve for many and not just of one .. not of the loss of a dollar sign but that of the person/people that are dying everywhere in the world..

may those that suffer know happiness and love when its their time .. love to all i say not hate ..

Artist: Sade
Song: Slave Song

I see them gathered, see them on the shore
I turned to look once more
And he who knows me not
Takes me to the belly of darkness

The tears run swift and hard
And when they fall
Even, even the comfort of a stone
Would be a gain
There was a time when I thought
I would have to give up
But I'm thankful that I'm
Strong as I am and I'll
Try to do the best I can

Tears will run swift
And tears will come that fall like rain
I pray that it's swift though
Tears will fall as cold as pain

I pray to the almighty
Let me not to him do
As he has unto me
Teach my beloved children
Who have been enslaved
To reach for the light continually

So many times I prayed
So many times I've prayed for you
Prayed for you

The tears run swift and hard and cold as pain
Even, even the comfort of a stone would be a gain
Had I not had the strength and wisdom of a warrior
I would have to give up
But I'm thankful that I'm
Strong as I am and I'll
Try to do the best I can

Tears will run swift
And tears will come that fall like rain
I pray that it's swift though
Tears will fall as cold as pain

I pray to the almighty
Let us not do as he has unto us
Teach my beloved children I've been a slave
But reach for the light continually

Wisdom is the flame
Wisdom is the brave warrior
Who will carry us into the sun
I pray that it's swift though
Tears will come that fall like rain

So many times, so many times
