UNDER AVISAT SKY

"UNDER AVISAT SKY" is a powerful and deeply emotional environmental anthem that tells the story of the mighty Sepik River—the lifeline, provider, and spiritual heartbeat of thousands of people who have depended on its waters for generations. From the Highlands tributaries to Chambri Lakes, Murik Lakes, and the Bismarck Sea, the song gives voice to ordinary families whose daily survival comes not from wealth or government support, but from fishing the river, harvesting sago, tending riverside gardens, and living in harmony with nature. As concerns grow over large-scale mining and pollution, the song highlights the devastating consequences that contaminated water, destroyed ecosystems, and environmental degradation could have on communities that have few alternatives for food, income, health, and survival. It is a heartfelt plea to protect a river that has sustained life, culture, identity, and wisdom for countless generations. At its core, "Under Avisat Sky" is also a spiritual call to stewardship and justice. The song reminds listeners that the Sepik River is not merely a resource to be exploited, but a sacred gift from God entrusted to the people who call it home. Through its powerful lyrics and uplifting choir, it challenges greed, pride, and the pursuit of wealth at the expense of God's creation. It asks a simple but profound question: How can what God has freely given to sustain simple people be taken away and destroyed for the benefit of a few? Rooted in faith, the song declares that the river, its forests, its fish, its wildlife, and its people are part of God's divine creation and deserve protection for future generations. Its message is clear and unwavering: Leave the Mighty Sepik River( Avisat) Alone.
