	Duration: 04:11 minutes Upload Time: 07-10-07 00:36:24 User: LeeshaHarvey :::: Favorites :::: Top Videos of Day
Description: I wrote this song about a week ago after speaking with my Mom who lives in Zimbabwe. She told me many stories of things she has seen in the past few months, and while thinking about these stories this song was born. The photographs in this video are all photos that she has taken in Zimbabwe. Runyararo (means "peace" in Shona*): Hold your hand out, child, hold your hand out and I'll fill it I know it's not much, but will it do? It's a big world and we're two small people in it If I could change it, I would for you But all I have is love Lift your head up, friend, lift your head and don't you worry Somehow we'll find a way to make it through Put your gun down, man, cause we're not here for fighting We're simply surviving, much like you And all we have is love All we have is love Ooo, Runyararo Ooo, Runyararo Let your pride go, sir, let your pride go and help fix this There will be no claiming, you never knew Are you watching, world, do you see the people dying? And are you trying, to do all you can do? Have you not love? Have you not love? Ooo, Runyararo Ooo, Runyararo © 2007 Leesha Harvey (*Please note, I do not speak Shona, so I apologize for any mistakes in my pronunciation.)

spaceword ::: Favorites some people have a voice that touches the universe..the universe of unknown dimensions and the universe within us that we only get a tiny inkling about.....a starburst in the brain that leaves our receptors standing and allows us to be at one for a moment with the eternal thing that rumor might call soul...wonderful..how far can you go wehen you're touching infinity.. 07-10-09 04:20:43 __________________________________________________
ParadiseEarth1 ::: Favorites "Put your gun down, man, cause we're not here for fighting... Have you not love?..." Wow Leesha! Glad you've included important issues with-in your music. It's alarming how the mean and ruthless are generally the same sort of people who craves for power and the armaments to make the power grab possible. Hope some of these sorts including the weapons manufacture and dealers get to listen to your song and be ashamed of themselves and change for the good.***** + Faved 07-10-09 03:39:12 __________________________________________________
