Blood Into Gold is the compelling new song from Peter Buffett featuring Akon, pinpointing the issue of human trafficking and slavery. The poignant video, produced by UNICEF, is a powerful visual representation of the songs message, utilizing moving images and video from around the world that depict the severity of this issue. As a complementary advocacy tool to the song, the hope of the video is to call attention to the issue and inspire others to help bring an end to the atrocities associated with human trafficking.

LYRICS:
When I go to sleep at night
I wonder why I dont feel the pain
From where the sun is shining bright
But empty shells of lives remain
I know the news will tell me why
And well watch others take the fall
But who will hear when someone cries
That saving one can save us all
Can you open your heart?
Will you give me your hand?
Can you look in my eyes?
Will you see who I am?
The blood of your sons and
The blood of your daughters
The blood of my sisters
The blood of my brothers
The blood of your fathers
The blood of your mothers
All that you own through the blood of another
See when I go to sleep at night
Everything seems to fade away
If I live to see daylight
What part of life will I decide to change?
I see the sun.
Kind of reminds me of the gold that brightens our day
I see the rain
And also see all the blood that is washes away
CHORUS
Now its time to shine the light
In all the corners that we fear
We can win without a fight
But only love can take us there
Can you open your heart?
Will you give me your hand?
Can you look in my eyes?
Will you see who I am?
CHORUS

I'm crying. God, it's so terribly sad, my mum recorded a book about human trafficking in Haiti. Saddest thing other than child soldiers, it's appalling what people can get away with, it absolutely sickens me. This is the precise reason I want to become a photojournalist, make the world see this disgusting, unpleasant, and depressing life that others are forced to live. Maybe then snobby individuals will understand that they are truly fortunate to live the life they live.

I don't know what ever happened, an opportunity was given to man to govern themselves.

No, Mr. Buffett didn't. I saw Peter in concert and he told his story. Peter even once had to take a 2nd mortgage on his house, I liked that very much. Plus, they love giving back. :-)

no he didnt, his dad offered him stocks and other things that would have made him a multi-millionaire but he refused it to be a musician on his own.
