Sista Earth Words & Music Seraya Young (Copyright 2002) Verse 1 Just last week, I said to a friend I wish I was in the 50’s, 60,s 70’s, so much going on then When I got home, I turned on theTV And it blew my mind to find we were right on the verge of WWIII CHORUS So put on your courage, shake off that apathy Now’s the time to redefine your priorities Can you hear Sista Earth? She cries, “Please put those weapons down, If you blow my heart and sink my shores We’ll all be going down” Don’t wanna be going down Verse 2 We lost our heart and soul in the race for power and technology In the quest for Bigger, Better, Brighter, lost sight of you and me Lets return to the real and true….oh sweet simplicity Cos baby, I’m connected to you, and you’re connected to me CHORUS Can you hear Sista Earth? She cries, “Please put those weapons down, If you blow my heart and sink my shores We’ll all be going down” Don’t wanna be going down BRIDGE Spirit of Peace, help us see, Spirit of Love, visit us Spirit of Peace, help us see, Spirit of Love, visit us Be still and listen, We gotta be still and listen Come on, be still and listen CHORUS Can you hear Sista Earth? She cries“Please put those weapons down, If you blow my heart and sink my shores We’ll all be going down” So c’mon, put on your courage, shake off that apathy Take my Hand, we’ll make a stand Its time to hold our ground We can turn this ship around We’re not going down.

about

This EP in a small way covers my take on growing up in South Africa. We left when I was relatively young. Memories, recollections, stories and experiences are deeply etched in my heart. This release is a celebration of unity, peace and love…. for ourselves, for one another and for our precious planet.
