Hi Everyone,

I just posted a video of a song that I wrote this week called "Cries of the Children"

In it I blend some Soukous as well as African folk guitar styles.
If you remember Paul Simon's "Graceland" album he kind of did the same thing..with a little pop flavor added.

Here are the lyrics to the song..

enjoy!!

Cries of the Children

There is a song that echoes in time
From the holocaust to Gulu
It tells it’s rhyme

From Rwanda to Darfur we hear the cries of the children.

Cries of the children

Singing Wooo….Singing Wooooo

Where are the Fathers
Where are the mothers
Where are the brothers and sisters

There’re nowhere to be found..

Swept away like dust on the ground

Can you hear their cry in the sound

Of all the people

of all memories

Of all the stories of generations gone by

This is the song the Fatherless. The song of abandoned ones.

Hear our cry…O Lord Hear our cry for the children..X2
