Thanks David, I am a trinidadian living in Philadelphia, Haiti i will be there soon, i love you Haiti you are my people, i was in Africa for a long time, and you are them, you are Africans, I love you deeply, and as David said we are sorry, he had the vision long before us, as a child i listen to his music,and i had a full understanding of what he meant, keep up the good work David, you are God' angel with a message......Peace and Love
Thank you David, I am a Trinidadian living in Philadelphia, we love you Haiti. I will be there soon.I am sorry Haiti,I love you.......David bought the message to us years ago, he had the vision...so to you Haiti, i will say we the world are sorry....Peace and Love.
thanks for posting this,We must now help Haiti move away from this tragedy and help restore HAITIS GLORY in whatever way we can. As Caribbean ppl. We must petition our governments to be from and centre in the rehabilitation of the once PEARL OF THE ANTILLES.
haiti im sorry god bless dis country which have fallen and may many survive n be found david it was like you no sumting wud of happen thhis song is amazing it can happen to your country or mines open up ur hearts and pray
@pologeo17 Oh, I'll bet you do pray about me! Especially after I busted you out and got your stolen website taken away from you...THIEF!
I just can't picture any gods or lords or messiahs putting curses on folks. Methinks that you might be praying to the Dark Lord himself - Satan - which would make you a devil worshiper.
p.s. Nobody likes you and you have no friends, not even in god or Satan or whatever fictional character you're praying to this week.
@pologeo17 you are so foolish, do you have any kind of education, i was unsure people still speak he way you're speaking...damn fool, you even laught like a fool...
its is so amazing when i heard this song i remembered hearing it before the earthquake but hearing it it now i felt like he sang it because he know something was going to happen. he apologise before all this catastrophe which showed he acknowledged haiti. this is an example for us to do the same it can happen to us
Well, he really sang it because of all the poverty and negativity which the country has endured all these years. Not abt the earthquake. Curruption, financial ruin, crime etc
When there is angrish in Haiti its still Africa crying. Finally we are turning our heads to help resstore your glory. However I still think that we misunderstand you. they say the middle passage is gone but over crowed boats still haunt our lives. Personally I think that this song should be sang in churches all over the world.
After 22 years, this song is soooo effective and has earn its rightfull place in history. Thank you David for your inspiration. If anyone can, let us promote this song to be the redemption song for our fellow Haitians and their country. God bless.....
All the way from Trinidad & Tobago - we are praying for a speedy recovery of the Land of Haiti - we are very sorry..........as someone mentioned it could happen to anyone of us in the Caribbean but for now it has happen to you and now is time for us to all help to rebuild our sister isle..........as David Rudder said "we are sorry". May God bless the land all over again.....for all the children and the children that are being born in the devastation of Haiti.
Hail to Haiti,Hail to Ma!ma!Hail to the Queen,the closest passage to AFRICA in the West Indies,HAITI!like Peter Tosh once said How you doing AFRICA,WE see the pain,NO WOMAN NO CRY,NA cry Na cry every..EVERY little ting,every thing will be all right.
This is such a powerful powerful powerful song. This epitomizes everything Haiti. Everything we as Caribbean people have and are still going through. Let us never forget Haiti because we can possibly fall into this same line of devastation
All of america is focussed on Bono,Rhiana etc performing on friday but none had the preditions of this great artist..This is for sure a symbolizing song ,,,well done rudder..Soca Prophet..would luv to see him perform this to an american and world stage/
I went to the University of the West Indies on friday and heard this song in a play wrttien by Derek Walcott and swear i got teary eyed. Being a history student I know what Haiti was and what it now. It's so sad to see what's happening there. I hope for fast relief.
Always love listening to this song especially last couple days. God is Great & I know we should not ask why?| pray for my Caribbean brothers & sisters God is love.
After seein the Devastation in haiti a few days ago this was the first song that came to my mind. I have been singing it and crying since.. With Love from St. Vincent and the Grenadines
Thankyou for having this here. Solidarity with all the people of Haiti. We'll do what we can to help. I had this record back in the 80's and sadly lost it. It was always moving.
I will like take this time ask everyone give something to the red cross i just did that. It do not have to be much whatever you can give. Please say aprayer for the our brothers and sisters in haiti. Haiti am so sorry we forgot about you . STAY STRONG AND KEEP GOD IN YOUR PRAYERS.
For the people of Haiti..I pray the the Might God look upon you and shine His light upon you. Father I pray that all may be healed and that there be no more sickness no more dying no more pain. Provide for them Jesus take care of them and hold them in your arms. Haiti i'm sorry. Haiti i'm sorry. One day we'll turn our heads and restore your glory. One in by God's grace
Let's all unite as one people & pray for the people of Haiti suffering from this devasting tragedy. To the awesome Haitian brothers (Jacque, Pierre, Astrel--"Young Boy", Donald & Livingston) from Maryland back in the 80's, I'll never forget the wisdom & knowledge you'll shared of "the land of hills" and the Carribean on a whole. I began to read Longman Sec. school histories for the Carribbean "The People Who Came" Book 3. as a refresher to reflect on our place in history . Peace & Blessing
I left Haiti sov long ago and right now I have the urge to go back and help. I want to make a difference for at least 2 children, and that is my goal. I love you Haiti, La perle des antilles
This songs touches on the "Uncle Tom" spirit of the other Caribbean Nations towards Haiti at that time. We turned our back on them to stay on good standings with Europe. But they are the reason why we are "free" and "independant" today. The first western slaves to be free; the only western slaves gain freedom by fighting for it; The first independent western nation; the begining of the fall of Napoleon. We need to restore their glory.
I am praying for all of Haiti... this is a horrible tragedy. I wish I could go to Hait right now! :( I fell in love with Haiti when I visited in 2008... it is home to the most loving and humble people I have ever met! It lives in my heart always! Mwen Renmen'ou Haiti !!!!
I am asking all who can see this comment to pray for the Haitians... At this moment, I think that the most important thing to do is to pray for them... that is all most of us can do. This is still shocking me, and everytime I think about it I cry
Too late, too late shall be the cry.While it is good to talk and do something about the genocide in Somalia and Rewanda. Right here in our backyards the people of this impovrished country have been appealing to our better judgment and seeking help.We turned a blind and now with forked tongue we say we are sorry. Better late than never i suppose Action speaks louder than woeds though.I am indeed sorry.I tried my best to help and give my two cents worth in 2002. It is our responsibility to help
I think of all the blessings T&T has, and how we have squandered them, and reflect on the constant series of disasters in Haiti, and I can only say this world is truly not a fair one.
i got shivers when the Haitin coah said that we killed th dreams of 12million people.(Antigua) im sorry Haiti

Haiti:
Toussaint was a mighty man
And to make matters worse he was black
Black back in the days when black men knew
Their place was in the back
But this rebel he walked through Napoleon
Who though, that wasnt very nice
And so today my brothers in Haiti
They still pay the price

Many hands reach out to St. Georges
And are still reaching out
And to those frightened,
Foolish men of Pretoria
We still scream and shout

To steady the Horn of Africa
But the papaloa come and the babyloa go
And still we dont seem to care

When there is anguish in Port au Prince
Dont you know its still Africa crying
We are outing fires in far away places
When our neighbors are burning
The middle passage is gone
So How come
Overcrowded boats still haunt our lives
I refuse to believe that we good people
Will forever turn our hearts
And our eyesaway
