about

I have three beautiful kids. When I think of them, life feels good. My love for them is endless. At the same time I see in the news so many innocent people dying as the result of war, exploitation and indifference. It becomes so normal that it's like a daily TV soap opera. But I think of my children in those situations and then I start to understand how painful it is. If we can all imagine that - maybe it can be a start to acknowledge the suffering.

lyrics

nnitemang hino sotoo
mira tella

kelowo mang nying
koloye mol tora
keloo kontongo kanungteh furejeh

yantayah
kurenjawo
halakikoleng
tinyarijawo

a da bula keloo da bula
a da bula sembe wafo da bula
a da bula nyo toro da bu la



If you don’t have empathy
You can’t feel or see wrong or right

Fighting is not good
We are sick and tired of war
Fighting’s surname is ‘seeing your loved ones dead’

Causing homelessness
Deadly sickness
Suffering
Destruction

Stop it, stop the war
Stop selling your power
Let us stop tormenting each other now
