Words & Music by Shimshai, Rhyme by Al Khemetic.

In every day we have begun
With every waking one
I pray for our daughters and our sons
Pray for the light within their eyes
That forever their freedom flies
I pray for the day, the day has come
If ever you fall into the night
& Lose all sense of sight
Remember that darkness births the light
& When you rise again once more
Still stronger than before
You’ll know the time you came here for

& Through my eyes I’m feeling older now
In knowing how, I made my vow
& so I feel a little closer now
I take my bow, your time is now

So follow the path unto the sun
Where lies the waking one
& When you rise the dream is done
Melodies ancient voice and song
Will keep you safe and make you strong
To not forget what’s yet to come
So live your dreams and dream of truth
Dream of life and live your youth
& One day you will look back through
Remember the way that we have come
All as daughters and as sons
So pray for the day to carry on

Rhyme by Al Khemetic:
We arise upon the first light rays of the sun / to embrace the morning light of victory we have won / and yo within this rising longer dreaming it’s done / the light of consciousness shines to behold the waking one / whose love is stronger than ever / heavy yet light as a feather / always connected un-severed / now listen youth here’s my message / remember all life is precious and that we share same essence / and what you do to harm others / it only shatters reflections / and it diminishes treasures / so let us live with forgiveness / so when we look back- we find we’ve loved beyond measure / all of our daughters and sons / once mothers into all ones / melodic voices have sung / new ancient times have begun / get ready for what’s to come / cos all the seeds we plant now will flourish under the sun / so keep your heart in alignment with all your thoughts words and actions / keep your relations authentic and free yourself of distractions / and move towards the Sun...

& Through this life we find our fears and truths
In age and youth, and so we choose
& Through my eyes I’ve seen in color too
The world as new, I’ll see you through

This song I wrote for my 2 children, Adrian & Zahara. I have never been a very personal writer so this for me was special to sort of direct something a bit more that way. I probably sound like an old man here looking back, but in reality the kids where still young and I was in my 30's at the time! Just getting a little perspective on life, and knowing just as it happened for myself and my parents, my children will look back one day in appreciation for where they've come from and where they are going. I was really happy to invite my dear brother known as Al Khemetic to help with this one as he is also a father of several children and even now a Grandfather!
