This is a song I wrote partly in Thailand, partly in California when I got back. It's a tribute to the Karen people who have been fleeing from the dangers of the longest lasting civil war of all time, the war happening in Burma. I had the opportunity to work in Mae La Refugee camp this summer. This song is a reflection of my time there. The pictures you see are pictures I took during my stay. I hope you enjoy, and please visit www.karenkonnection.org to find out more information about the genocide of the Karen people and their journeys to refugee camps, and hopefully to countries like the U.S.

.n.joy! =)
