about

Mankayane, Swaziland - the community I planned on spending my summer with in 2006. These words were about them before I met them. And, these words ended up being for anyone and any group left out on the fringes.

lyrics

Child I see you and your sunken eyes too
Child I see you and your sunken eyes too

I'm coming for you carrying love on my back for you
I'm coming for you and your sunken eyes too

Have you heard, ah ah ah ah, ah ah ah ah
Have you heard, ah ah ah ah, ah ah ah ah
Have you heard, ah ah ah ah, ah ah ah ah
Have you heard those cries...

Child I hear you, "hold on" is nothing new for you
Distant cries can fool saying "I'm too far from you."
I'm coming for you and your broken heart too
I'm coming for you, carrying love on my back for you

Have you heard, ah ah ah ah, ah ah ah ah
Have you heard, ah ah ah ah, ah ah ah ah
Have you heard, ah ah ah ah, ah ah ah ah
Have you heard those cries...

I have heard, ah ah ah ah, ah ah ah ah
I have heard, ah ah ah ah, ah ah ah ah
I have heard, ah ah ah ah, ah ah ah ah
I have heard your cry

child I see you
and your broken heart too
I'm coming for you, carrying love on my back
for you
