My story

POEM/ LUCY
Slum ndio shule ya kutrain, make it rain, brain disable
Watu hawa think straight juu ni late waiting for power
Hata God amenawa, akatusahau ka watu wa mau mau
Ukiomba peace, weather ni bullet

(We are educated by the slums, at the same time disabled by the slum.
There is a lot of violence, but if you ask for peace,
Only bullets come your way)

Verse 1/ FRANCO
Wananchi wanaishi bila dishi kwa mitaa
Utumishi inafaa kwa jirani ana njaa
Mi’ sijali ata ka utakubali utakataa

(People are starving in the ghetto.

Shamba

Chorus 1 2x
Palilia shamba moja
Weka mbolea pema
Okoa zao moja
Jamii stawi vyema

Verse
Zao la mwenzio ni kama lako
Si kusema cha mwenzio sio chako
Weka mbolea shamba lake
Kama hayupo usiache likauke

Usiuwashe moto liteketee
Fikiria lingekuwa la kwako
Ujutie matendo yako
Basi sikia hii kengele

Saidia mtoto mmoja
Mpe maadili mema
Okoa maisha ya mmoja
Jamii iishi vyema

Verse 2 lyrics from museke.com
Mtoto wa mwenzio ni kama wako

Tell freedom (seek ye good)

His Majesty sitteth upon the throne
In His Righteous Kingdom
Watching the whole wide world

Execute ye judgement and righteousness
And deliver the spoiled out of the hands of the oppressor
Do no wrong,eh
Do no violence to the stranger
The fatherless nor the widow
Do not shed innocent blood on this earth, oh Babylon, Jah Jah sey

Voices of the Future : African Children's Choir

Tagged:  •    •    •    •    •    •    •    •    •    •  

African children's choir
They may go unnoticed as we jam to kwaito, soukouss, highlife and bongo flava, but the African Children's Choir is a strong presence whose mission we all need to be in support of. Made up of the most precious of faces and the most delicate of voices, the choir comprises of young African children aged between 7 and 11. Many of them have lost a parent or two to famine and disease, some are HIV positive orphans. They speak different languages and are from various countries around the continent, but they have united in one voice to represent and raise awareness to the issues concerning AIDS orphans from all over Africa. They were recently featured in the "Blood Diamond" movie's soundtrack. They have shared stages with personalities such as Miriam Makeba, Thandiswa Mazwai, Josh Groban, Wyclef Jean, Michael W. Smith to name a few, and have been successful in raising significant funds towards supporting and educating their brothers and sisters throughout the continent.

Save us

Intro
Our father
Who art in heaven
Halloweth be thy name
Thy kingdom come
Thy will be done in earth
As it is in heaven
Give us this day our daily bread
And forgive us trespasses
As we forgive those who trespass against us
And lead us not into temptation
But deliver us from evil
For thine is the kingdom
The power and the glory
Forever and ever
Amen

Chorus
Save us, oh save us
Oh,save us, he children
Save us, oh save us
Cos we are the future
Save us, oh save us
Oh, save us, the children
Save us, oh save us
Oh, save us today

Young and wise

Chorus 4x
I am young and wise
Thought I have lots of lies
I'm determined to live right
Just because I'm young and wise

Looking around me
The world is running fast and I can't keep the pace
Voices are calling
Come let's blow time, do what feels good

The pressure is on
To do what's wrong
The system's pulling me along
It's hard to wait
And like life straight
Oh!
