I am sitting still, I think of Angelique
Her mothers voice over me
And the bullets in the wall where it fell silent
And on a thousandth hill, I think of Albertine
There in her eyes what I don’t see with my own
Rwanda

Now that I have seen, I am responsible
Faith without deeds is dead
Now that I have held you in my own arms
I cannot let go till you are

And I am on a plane across a distant sea
But I carry you in me
And then the dust on, the dust on, the dust on
The dust on, the dust on my feet
Rwanda

Now that I have seen, I am responsible
Faith without deeds is dead
Now that I have held you in my own arms
I cannot let go till you are

I will tell the world, I will tell them where I've been
I will keep my word, I will tell them, Albertine
Rwanda

Now that I have seen, I am responsible
Faith without deeds is dead
Now that I have held you in my own arms
I cannot let go till you are

And I am on a stage, a thousand eyes on me
I will tell them, Albertine
I will tell them, Albertine
