Lift Every Voice and Sing with Lyrics

Lift Up Your Voice & Sing

(Lyrics)

Lift every voice and sing
Till earth and heaven ring
Ring with the harmonies of Liberty;
let our rejoicing rise,
high as the list'ning skies, let it resound loud as the rolling sea
sing a song full of faith that the dark past has tought us,
sing a song full of the hope that the present has brought us;
facing the rising sun of our new day begun,
let us march on till victory is won.

Stony the road we trod,
bitter the chast'ning rod,
felt in the day that hope unborn had died;
yet with a steady beat,
have not our weary feet,
come to the place on witch our fathers sighed?
we have come over a way that with tears has been watered,
we have come, treading our path through the blood of the slaughtered,
out from the gloomy past, till now we stand at last
where the white gleam of our star is cast.

God of our weary years,
God of our silent tears,
thou who has brought us thus far on the way;
thou who has by thy might,
led us into the light,
keep us forever in the path, we pray
lest our feet stray from the places, our God, where we met thee,
lest our hearts, drunk with the wine of the world, we forget thee,
shadowed beneath the hand,
may we forever stand,
True to our God,
True to our native land

"Cosmic consciousness"

"Oh how the suns solar rays praise the earth...

Ironic form of mutuality,

As the sun grabs the earth in it's molten hands

Hugs it tightly within its grasp

A sign of mutual respect between entities,

As one needs the other yet...  

At times the sun can be to much of a

"Warm Welcome"

and be somewhat of a little overbearing, like a friend who gives no breath of air.

Hence the phrase;

"Some people are good to have around yet in small doses"

Our Story

The KERNE Project, started off as an Awareness Magazine based in Seattle. The founder, L. Michel with a team of producers, photographers and musicians, were determined to create a publication for the black community in the Northwest. As the project developed, many things began to change. The demand from the community became more apparent that a platform that documented their story, as well as helped them navigate forward, was more important than the original design. The publication continued more as an online/social media based organization, that would provide insight on the information missing in the story of the black community. As the project expanded, the KERNE team created Kernepedia, presentations, video series, educational pictures and articles, to further expand the minds of our community.

Who Are We?

Before we get into describing who we are, let us first acknowledge that our name is of Irish background. Even though, the name originates from Irish tongue, it is not of a supremacist legacy. We represent all of the roots of melanated legacy.

Kerne is defined as a band of foot soldiers. We are not a band of supremacist propaganda but a band of melanated foot solider delivering the message. We have been told that our name should "sound" of Kemet origin. But we believe that to limit our title on the bases of oppressive stereotyping would actually mean that we would therefore have to ignore millions of years of history, that our ancestors bestowed upon this earth. We refuse to represent the oppressive stigma which has kept our community in the dark for almost a thousand years. We, KERNE, choose to represent a rich legacy attached to our bloodline.

We are taking back our legacy of forgotten history, as well as providing our followers with a clear direction towards building a greater future.

The letters in KERNE, also stands for:

• K represents Knowledge: Empowering the community with information to develop stability and security
• E represents Endurance: In order to remain empowered, we believe in educating our community in wellness and health
• R represents Remembrance: We believe that in order to go forward, we must first understand where we came from
• N represents Navigation: We put our heart and soul into developing a way to lead our community to spiritual ascension and self awareness
• E represents Experience: The experience that we bring to our community from all of our efforts

Everything we construct (from videos, presentations, stories, articles, publications, etc.) all reflect these five focal points.

What Do We Believe?

We believe that in order to progress, we need to change the overall perception of our community. We have discovered that in order to change the perception of our community, we needed to implement this project platforms designed to broaden our mind.

Join the Movement
