about

Johnny Clegg has generously granted The Peace Project use of his song, Touch The Sun. By donating now, you'll receive this song and join hands with thousands worldwide who are supporting Operation Rise.

On September 21st, 2011, The Peace Project will distribute 10,000 pairs of crutches to everyone in need in the war-torn country of Sierra Leone, Africa, where some have been crawling on the ground for over ten years due to the lack of crutches. Personal mobility is the first step to sustainable peace. Operation Rise will get the people of Sierra Leone on their feet. With each step taken we all RISE UP, change the world and touch the sun.

Visit ThePeaceProject.com for more information about Operation Rise.

TOUCH THE SUN

Sitting in her bed
But inside her head
She can see all the colours of the sun

She travels time and space
To when the world was young
She’s taking notes on the run
She sees the faces
And tries to fit the names
Understanding strange moments in the game

She knows that if you look back in anger
You will never be free
She’s going home and I hear her singing to me

UBANI BENGATHINTHA THINA
Who can touch us
SIBAMBA ILANGA NANGEZANDLA
For we can hold the sun even with our bare hands
Will I really touch the sun?
Will I really be the one?
The fire in flame that colours in your name
Holding out my hands
A shiny yellow band
Burns away the pain
Dries out the rain

In the darkness she recalls all that was said
And the years she spent looking for love
´Mama! did you see me fall?
´Brother! did you hear my call?
´People! can you see the race I have run?
Time is not her own, and she feels it in her bones
There’s a strange hand tugging at her soul
Closing her eyes she’s a young girl dancing free
And she hears an old song as she slides into a dream
