"jazz sisters"
We vibrate the positive sounds of the present to yield the harmony of the future.
We are connected, like every instruments used to produce harmonious melodies. .
We are sisters regardless of skin hue, shape and size.
We are one, playing in one accord.
Beneath the soul are the sources of the rich and the real songs of time.
Lets sing like the sea... without end.
We are sisters jazzing in praise of time.
We have looked inwards to appreciate selves.
Found the strings of oneness to play the songs of unity.
Lets live in the spirit of dance.
We have been denied strength of togetherness by manipulative hands of division.
Lets reach out in arms of love for support and solidarity.
We are sisters jazzing in praise of time.
This is our time lets jazz like never before in memories
of the past and in gratitude to God for the grace and love.
This is our time lets sing and dance to keep awake heroes of the land.
We are sisters jazzing in praise of time
We are sisters no matter what they tell us.
We are the fountains of life,
true sources of wisdom and knowledge.
We are the rising and setting of the shining hearts.
We are what we are today because of what our mothers were yesterday.
We have come a long way not to be slowed down by self.
Lets feel the healing powers of the music and march on in the spirit of dance.
We shall overcome.
