DIVIDED WE FALL • An ANTHEM for the Beginning of a NEW ERA

Written by 2 Original SOUL DOGS, Sharon Benson and Robert Wayne Switzer (aka "Wayno" to those closest to him). This is a "Camp Fire" style, completely Un-Plugged, Impromptu Musical Reunion, after being on opposite ends of the West Coast for more than 10 years. DIVIDED WE FALL was born out of a conversation Sharon & Wayno were having on the phone last year, while preparing for the Gardens of Forgiveness LOVE WINS Event with Pete Seeger & Friends at NYU, on 9/11/11. The 10 Year Anniversary brought up much reflecting... And here it is again... coming up on 9/11's Eleventh Anniversary. So we sit down in the living room... with a little MP4 Video camera... Capturing our song, DIVIDED WE FALL... Looking forward to recording it with SOUL DOGS' Full Band and bringing this SOUL DOGS "Reunion Duo" (Sharon & Wayno) to NYC to perform our Anthem LIVE at The Vigil for International Peace & Ecology and at various Events going on during the International Day Of Peace weekend, beginning Friday, September 21st thru Sunday, September 23rd, 2012. This Video also serves as a way to get as many people as possible, including all our Vigil Friends and Musicians in NYC, to begin to learn DIVIDED WE FALL, Sing Along with us, Play Instruments, Drums, Percussion, or whatever. Even the Lyrics are right there to make it easy. For those of you in NYC, we invite you to come to the Vigil For International Peace and Ecology on Sunday, September 23rd, at the Central Park Bandshell and Join Us! It will be going on from 9 AM - 5 PM. Info @: http://www.vigil4internationalpeace.org/ For more Info & Links Visit http://www.souldogs.com

Sharon Benson

LET'S TALK WATER.. NOT WEAPONS...
CLEAN WATER.. NOT WEAPONS
WATER....... WATER NOT WEAPONS

DO YOU KNOW WHAT IT'S LIKE
NOT TO HAVE CLEAN WATER?
WAY TOO MANY PEOPLE DO
MAYBE YOU THINK THERE'S AN ENDLESS SUPPLY... WELL I'VE GOT NEWS FOR YOU

PEOPLE GETTIN' SICK DRINKIN' WATER THAT'S BROWN. FISH IN THE SEA FLOATIN' UPSIDE DOWN...
BIRDS COVERED WITH OIL LAYIN' ON THE GROUND... WHEN WE GONNA WAKE UP AND SEE..

WE GOTTA TALK WATER.. NOT WEAPONS...
CLEAN WATER.. NOT WEAPONS
WATER....... WATER NOT WEAPONS

MAYBE WE'RE THE TERRORISTS TO MOTHER EARTH, DRAINING AND POLLUTING HER WATERS...
SQUANDERING HER GIFTS WITH NO REGARD...
BUT NOW IT'S TIME TO PONDER

GOT TO GET OUR PRIORITIES STRAIGHT...
TIME TO MAKE A CHANGE BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE...
WATER IS LIFE... WEAPONS KILL...
IT'S TIME FOR A WATER REVIVAL

WE GOTTA TALK WATER.. NOT WEAPONS...
CLEAN WATER.. NOT WEAPONS
WATER....... WATER NOT WEAPONS..
WATER NOT WEAPONS
IT'S ABOUT WATER.. NOT WEAPONS...
CLEAN WATER.. NOT WEAPONS
WATER.. NOT WEAPONS... CLEAN, CLEAR WATER... CLEAN, CLEAR WATER

THERE'S NOTHING MORE IMPORTANT IN THIS WORLD THAN TO SAVE OUR PRECIOUS WATER
WHAT THE HECK ARE WE FIGHTING FOR...
LOSING OUR SONS AND DAUGHTERS...COME ON NOW

LET'S WORK TOGETHER... WAR IS NOT THE ANSWER... WATER IS THE ISSUE TO PERSUE
IF WE FOCUS ON SURVIVAL... GET ON THIS REVIVAL... TO CLEAN WATER FOR ME AND YOU

TALKIN' ' BOUT WATER.. NOT WEAPONS...
CLEAN WATER.. NOT WEAPONS
WATER....... WATER NOT WEAPONS..
WATER NOT WEAPONS
CLEAN WATER.. NOT WEAPONS...
CLEAN, CLEAR WATER.. NOT WEAPONS
WATER....... WATER NOT WEAPONS..
WATER NOT WEAPONS, WATER NOT WEAPONS.. WATER NOT WEAPONS... WATER NOT WEAPONS.. WATER NOT WEAPONS.. WATER NOT WEAPONS.. WATER NOT WEAPONS...
