oh
I am yours,
O Lord, I am yours.
I am yours, O Lord, I am yours.
Gonna lay down my burden
down by the riverside,
down by the riverside, down by the riverside.
Gonna lay down my burden down by the riverside,
down by the riverside.
I ain't gone study one more.
I ain't
Down by the riverside,
down by the riverside,
down by the riverside
I'm gonna try on my long white robe
Down by the riverside, down by the riverside
I'm gonna lay down my sword and shield
No more fighting on the battlefield
Put my sword on the broken sand
Down by the river I will stand
Then I'll lay down my sword and armor
No more fighting in this land
Let me shield my spear with the precious rosewood
I am yours.
I am yours.
I am yours.
I am yours.
I am yours.
I am yours.
But
This next
piece of poetry has been written by a
very famous poet from Sindh called Sheikh
Ayaz and most of his poetry was in Sindhi.
This is one of his
Urdu poems and I feel it reflects what this project is about.
Because the words say,
speak out today, speak out aloud.
I have no homeland,
the whole world is my home.
I have no name,
my name is human.
The earth is my mother and on her I place my faith.
Break these fetters,
break these fetters of your prison house.
Speak out today, speak out aloud.
I have no homeland, the whole world is my home.
