OuR EaRtH Is bUrNiNg(LeT OuR VoICeS Be hEaRed!) - I was looking thru my old books, of lyrics, and I stumbled across this one. I've never really had, a clear direction, or "feeling", about this one before. Luckily today, suddely everything, just fell into place. Thanks to Otis Redding, and his beautiful song/title, "I've got dreams to remember"...I feel, that this is my nod of respect, to wonderful singer&songwriter, ms Lauryn Hill - she's so fierce! I've always felt drawn to, RNB/soul/gospel, type of music. Anyways - this is my contribution, to our world's collective sigh. We need to keep on working together, to keep our earth healthy, and fit, for future generations. PS: The video, are stock video clips, borrowed from, power director. Happy weekend! Anne :o)

Lauryn Hill- I remember:    • I Remember (Live)  
Otis Redding - I've got dreams to remember:    • Otis Redding - I´ve Got Dreams To Rem...  

1. You told me about your new plan
and I said "I wish you well"!!!
And then we shook hands
but deep in my soul -
there's a longing for change!

2. and I miss this place -
where love will conquer all evil
where peace is still - the only solution(hallelujah/amen)
We need to stand together - to stop all this violence!
We can't sit here in silence - let our voices be heared - voices be heared!

Our earth is burning - there's no place left to run
Why do we never seem to learn anything at all?
See history keeps on repeating - but I've got these dreams
Yeah i've got these dreams - these dreams to remember!

3. So make some more room for loving -
for peace and understanding
We gotta stop hating eachother -
That is your sister - he is your brother!

4. I miss the place where laughter
can be heared on every corner
So listen to our children play -
what kind of future do we offer them?

Our earth is burning - there's no place left to run
Why do we never seem to learn anything at all?
See history keeps on repeating - but I've got this dream
Yeah i've got this dream - this dream to remember!

Yeah I've got these dreams. I've got these dreams. Yeah I've got these dreams - these dreams to remember!!!!

    Hi Anne, love it. People would say "Amen" to what you have written where I come from, and come to think of it, where Otis came from as well so I understand your influence for this one. Have a great weekend Anne and get ready for the Summer now... People Get Ready... another classic :o) -Ron
