Albertine

I am sitting still, I think of Angelique
Her mother's 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 'til you are

I am on a plane
Across a distant sea
But I carry you in me
And in 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 'til 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 til you are

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