Rap Version of Shalom Asalaam
WHISPERS:
Shalom
Asalaam
Y'all
We've been fighting wars of the body, mind and soul.
And separation, fear and control,
Plagues the human races of old.
Hate lurks in dark places
Military bases, built to protect and destroy entire human races
Inhabited spaces, they would as market places
?????? races
Have sucked the earth’s most precious places
Even in life they spit what’s left in our faces
With this, how can people replace us, and then manipulate us
And believing we have the power to face this
The truth is
We're all from the same blood
Born by the same mud
Breath by the same air
All connected to the Earth here
So remember, as we kill one another
We're killing our mother, our sister and our brother
CHORUS:
Shalom alackhem ("Live In Peace" In Hebrew)
Asalaam a-ley-khoom ("Live In Peace" In Arabic)
Shalom alackhem
Asalaam a-ley-khoom, yaeh
See, we've been in this universe for lifetimes
Before life was measured in shape, curves and lines
Before time was time
In this web of life woven by the creator's twine
You may think that you are confined
In this body you call yours and I call mine
But get ready for new ways, a whole new paradigm, a new paradigm
It's a new kind of freedom
We've never known before
A deeper understanding
Because we know a lot more
We just keep going
We don't look back
Stay focused on the light
And you'll stay on track
It's a new kind of love
Stronger than before
Flowing like a river
Right to the core
We're finding our freedom
We're finding our peace
We'll find it together
And the wars will cease
The power of truth, communication and co-creation
Means of salvation, forgiveness, melts through these walls of separation
Within the light, destruction transforms into creation
As citizens of the Earth, Peace is our vocation
And it's time that the leaders of our kind
Stand strong in the balance of body, heart and mind
REPEAT CHORUS
REPEAT CHORUS
Be the change you seek
Be the change you seek
