Here's a song I recorded with over one hundred orphans of the LRA nightmare in Northern Uganda.
I wrote the song before I went to Uganda
And there I felt a little embarrassed about singing this with them as I could never understand the depth of their plight.
During my visit there I was more interested in their own songs and paintings and I was more inspired to take photos of their incredible beauty.
However upon coming home and mixing this whole event together, The song (A River Blue) and our collaboration has gained power for me and strikes me now as a landmark blow against poverty and ambivilence of their golden expression
Please help us give them the help they need.

God Bless You
Magical sons and daughters
Walk with us into freedom and love

If you love it

That's how we do things now

And peace
Across this earth
God bless
All the stars in childrens hearts
And we are all children
I love you
Of course

Here is a song written soon after Hurricane Katrina struck. There is a line in it "Everybody lost their home in a wind named Katrina." Not only the people of New Orleans but all Americans were abandoned in the wake of this catastrophe. There is still much to be done. I offer this song as a reminder of the people who still need our help. Please make a donation large or small at www.mercycorps.org.
