Saxakali Magazine 2:1 Culture of Resistance: Now We Build

Saxakali Magazine V2N1
Culture of Resistance

(Theme song of the Saxakali Movement - written and preformed by the Saxakali Band. June, 1994).

Verse:

Now we, we are the ones
Left with a world of failing beauty
Now we look to the sun
For an answer to our sad story

Scenes of grace, destroyed in haste
Our lives made waste by the choices we make
As politicians mumble, and governments fumble
The people are humbled, we watch the world crumble

Chorus:

Now we see a way, we live each day as never before
Now we want to say, let peace shine in through an open door
Now we wonder still, can our hearts be overfilled
Now we find our will, now we support, now we build

Verse:

Strangers who were friends all along
Unite as one to find
They share the voice of a common song
A common frame of mind

Giving of themselves without pause
They build on each other's strength
Fighting for a living cause
They go to any length

Chorus:

Verse:

Material possessions
Doesn't make you rich
The soul of your creation
Is a greater thing that this

When you take it all for granted
And use more than you need
It isn't for your hunger
It's only for your greed

Chorus:

Rap:

I said, building a new generation
Making a people connection
Big-up, it's a total fusion
Brand new massive civilization
Love, it has to be shared
The only reason why we must care
People, I say, stand and reason
A brand new way for a brand new season

Chorus:

Save the Essequibo
