Yon Jou (One Day) you can build a city paved of gold but build it on your brothers hand and reap what you sow people lying on the street living in poverty there just has to be a better way some day maybe not tomorrow but we have begun one day there will be no sorrow and we will live as one you can fight your brother over gods and land but in the end we're all the same as our fellow man children dying on the streets living in poverty there just has to be a better way One Day Haiti Some people have said that Haiti has had "bad luck" or even deserves the tragedies it has endured because they practice voodoo. However, the real tragedy is the mass ignorance about Haiti. There is a very simple reason Haiti is not in the best economic condition. Haiti was held down by the most powerful empires in the world. In fact, the French empire was built largely on the backs of the people of Haiti and its sugar crops. If you would like to learn more about this not so sweet story, check out "The Price of Sugar" movie. Also, what is now Citigroup did not help by buying Haiti's debt. For more info, check out "Where Does Haiti Fit in Citigroup’s Corporate History?" Finally, did you know Haiti is the only country in the world to have a successful slave revolution? To the same, Haitians are proud people. Rightfully so. So what is the message? What can we learn from Haiti's history? The truth is the history of Haiti is the history of the world. This is the message One Day. "You can build a city paved of gold, but build it on your brothers hand and reap what you sow." We can not continue to exploit cheap/slave labor to build "cities paved of gold." It will come back on us as it has for thousands of years. Imagine the power of thinking about who you work for and do business with and where you spend your money. Imagine millions of people making better choices who they associate themselves with in not only their social life but their professional life as well. Help affect change around the world. A large portion of the proceeds from "One Day" music and merchandise will go directly to disaster relief and fighting poverty in Haiti. One Day. Maybe not tomorrow - but lets begin.
