This song is called Unity by Trevor Hall.
Here are the Lyrics:
Oh
Yeah
Take me to the table where we all dine together
And pluck me from the crowd and return me to my sender
Whatever path you follow push on till tomorrow
Love all serve all and create no sorrow
So many rivers but they all reach the sea
They telling me he's different but I just don't believe it
Love is the goal yes, and everyone shall reach it
Who ever seeks it
Seen and unseen
Chorus:
I don't want a reason anymore about the one I love, the one I love
I don't want a reason anymore about God above, God above
I just want to melt away, in all His grace
Drift away, into that sacred place
Where there's no more you and me, no more they and we, just unity yeah yeah, just unity yeah yeah, just unity yeah yeah, just unity yeah yeah
Well I don't wana count the leaves of the mango tree
I just want to taste it's sweetness
So you can defeat this above and beneath this
Yeah
Come one and all, come stand tall
And whatever your approaching dance or meditation
If you got love along than you shall reach the station
You find a road, the supreme abode
In this city all hearts shine like gold
Chorus :)
Me and Jesus, Buddah, Moses, and Gouranga
All dance around, dancing on your thunder
Drunk on the wine of love for thee
Well tell me when will I be blessed to join the bliss of your company
Blissful company goes from sea to sea
From the depths of the valley to the mountain peaks
So many stories and so many fables of how the king sings of how the wall wails
Jerusalem to the Holy Himalayas
From Mount Zion to the hills of Jamaica
All land is holy, all land is sacred
All shall leave this world completely naked
Completely naked, completely
Chorus :)
I love this song mainly because it speaks of nothing else mattering except finding a good peace of mind. Everyone being one, being equal. In today's time along with the time of trouble during Kumalo's time people have always needed to know they are equal.

Hey, so this is my review. Questions by Dalton. Check it out!
Elements and the Book
I will first compare and contrast. A very powerful, repeated word that Arthur used in one of his notes was permissible. It was either not permissible, or it was. This is applicable in a sense of saying that what has happened is obviously not permissible. The fact that these kids committed murder merely to get some semi-valuable items is not permissible. This story also goes to show the fear of the land, and how extremely fearful people must be. When murders like this happen, it will undoubtedly be a scary thing. Another interesting thing is that, because it was so similar to the story’s murder case, it is as if that kind of crime has not changed. This makes Arthur and his beliefs more influential when comparing it to this modern story. How can unity happen when things like this happen, and how can Christianity be prominent with this sort of reality?
Now just to mention how similar the story is to the one in Cry, The Beloved Country, I was going to describe how it is. Basically these boys broke in this older man’s house and ended up killing him. It could just be that I am primed to think of the murder in the book when hearing about these murders, but to me it seemed pretty similar to the murders in the book, and I found that to be quite interesting.

More About The Effect of Fear
This is like the book, and how the streets are crowed and full of crime. I just have this picture of chaos and danger in my mind, and not very much safety. It would seem like it would have been, at the time of the book, a good idea to have soldiers patrolling the streets with police officers. I know it would make me feel much better about being out and about in the city. When Mr. Kumalo had his money taken, and there was a soldier present in order to stop crime, then it could have been a totally different situation. Especially if the soldier were to see it happen, and do something about it. I do think that there is evidence of needing fear and love to help SA. I feel it is the lack of love that has created the dangers and fear in the first place, and I do think that fear is necessary for change, because it will give a reason and a desire to do so.
