(For Haiti) Dead Can Dance - Song of the Stars
Dead Can Dance - Song of the Stars
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g0L5RFspwyE&p=6026F2AADB73FE58

We are the stars which sing
We sing with our light;
We are the birds of fire,
We fly over the sky.
Our light is a voice;
We make a road for the spirit to pass over
(algonquian indian)

We are like the wind,
Wrapped, luminous wind,
We make a road for the spirits to pass over.
For the Spirits to pass over.

Outo, ba mwen son ou,e,
Outo, ba mwen son ou,e,
Tanbouye, o ba mwen son ou,
Soley leve.
Outo, give me your sound,
Outo, give me your sound,
Drummer, give me your sound,
The sun rises.

(vodun invocation-haiti)


For the good people of Haiti. :grouphug:

2. Gorgeous. Thanks for posting.

I really needed that, Billy. :thumbsup: As you know, I returned from Haiti last week from an Operation Smile mission. I'm still very traumatized and depressed from the overwhelming desperation, but most especially from the average Haitian's attempts to hold their head up in hope. The Evangelism-for-profit groups are making hay. It breaks my heart. :( :cry:


edit: I saw some Cuban Henry Reeve Brigade Drs and nurses working as hard and in as difficult circumstances as one can imagine. Unbelievable caring and compassion.
