about

Song 11 on or journey and we are stepping into the astrological sign of Aquarius. This is all about the community and how to problem solve our way out of issues as a group. Sulha, meaning reconciliation was inspired by two men, a Palestinian and an Israeli and how they find peace within warring nations. They are like father and son. The idea in the Middle East is that you have peace talks over a cup of coffee. If you can get as far as three cups then peace is bound to be reached!

lyrics

Sulha (Reconciliation)

Take a seat at my table.
Though there’s blood on our hands, we’re like Cain and Abel.
We’ll break bread, not our mothers’ hearts.
Are we living by the grave or by the cradle?

Sulha, sulha, take a drink with me
Sulha, sulha, a cup of coffee.
Sulha, sulha, take a drink with me
Sulha, sulha, a cup or three.

How should we take our tea?
With a drop of remorse and a lump in our throat.
How should we take our coffee?
We’ll keep the dream afloat till we believe in:

Sulha, sulha, take a drink with me
Sulha, sulha, a cup of coffee.
Sulha, sulha, take a drink with me
Sulha, sulha, a cup or three.

And be free of all the rage and all the fear.
And be free, take some time to shed a tear.
And the pain will dissolve like sugar.

Sulha, sulha, take a drink with me
Sulha, sulha, a cup of coffee.
Sulha, sulha, take a drink with me
Sulha, sulha, a cup or three.

We’re tying ourselves up in knots inside
We can’t eat, we can’t sleep, we’re like suicide.
We’re banging our heads up against the wall,
Just remove one brick and watch it fall,
It’s our call, one and all, for:

Sulha, sulha, take a drink with me
Sulha, sulha, a cup of coffee.
Sulha, sulha, take a drink with me
Sulha, sulha, a cup or three.
A cup or three.
