Jam, Ja, Siok and Song (of the Earth)

Dash saw the SSEAYP Singapore Participating Youths for 2006 preparing for their journey last Saturday 26 Aug at Bedok Community Centre. Looking on, Dash is reminded of this most moving song. This song that was always played as Nippon Maru pulls out of each port-of-call : )

It is strange how for each of the 5 times this song was played from the decks of Nippon Maru, Dash always found herself standing at the top deck with Jam. And often, Song will be there to give us a reassuring grin : ) And at Thailand, Ja was with us!

[After putting this song on re-play for the past 2 hours, Dash still can't make out a particular line. Hence Dash wld really appreciate if any PY who knows this missing line cld inform Dash : ) Thanks ar!]

Song of the Earth

Come hear my song
Of beauty in this land
The earth and waters blendAnd nature and beasts are friends

Sweet is the air
Where everything is shared
The wind spread out its warmth
Of brotherhood and love

Happy glows on faces we know
/.... / [Missing text]

Eyes so bright that light up with love
Can only spring to life from deep within the very soul
Reach out your hands
And pray with all your heart
Surrender all your strength
To find our peace on Earth

Such beauty only brings
Tears of joy within
