Album: Sissala Goddess 2018
Wiyaala says: "We used to sing this song like a nursery rhyme when we were children growing up in the village. Like many nursery rhymes, there is an underlying truth. When the rain comes the rock sand will be washed away whilst the rock still stands. But the rock sand has it's qualities because you can build a house with it. Follow your own strengths to prosper and do not imitate others blindly, for you will surely be washed away when the rains come."
