The depth of your being
Mi Emkôsyi Misâbewa
I know what I know…
I’m not sad….
I’m not feeling broken, I believe in your strength.
You were breastfed, because of that love can stay alive…
I know what I know, you my great grand child,
You’ve got to know who you are, knowing that you don’t walk by yourself.
Your ansestors are surrounding you with their love, with their strength, and with
their knowledge.
Your ansestors are caring you on their shoulders.
Today we are standing here in all our power we are moving forward. If you so
choose you can truly do all things you set yourself to do. Reach out your hand to
your brother and your sister. Brother lend your shoulder to your sister so she can
lean and be released. Strengthen yourself through love.
Watch, see yourself in the eyes of your brother and your sister. See the strength,
see the courage, see the love. Awake the desires. Let them come to the foreground.
While caring your lamp on your way out of darkness , consider to lead your
brothers and sisters out of it also…
When you cross over on the fragile bridge which is falling apart, replace what you
can before you go on your way..
Some youngsters from our roots have already started this great work. They have
opened their hearts to work together.
Continue the work my pomegranate, continue the work..
That is the walk of your ansestors.
They had their heads lifted up looking forward , shoulders to the back. They’ve
strengthened their backs enduring, so that you can continue the work. For you not
to be afraid of what the future may hold.
Find your strength in the depth of your being. The place were no man can go. In
that place there is no war, no government, no church.
A holy peace In the debt of your being. The place where only love dwells. God
bless the origin of our being with the peace that the human race can’t destroy.
The peace where you truly dwell.
I know what I know. Together it Is possible , together we can accomplish
anything. Together we can cross any waterfall, together we can climb the highest
mountain.
Shoulders back, let’s work together!
Come on y’all, here we go.
Together we are winners.
Together we are helping to lift up Suriname.
