Albertine

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

*chorus*
now that i have seen, I am responsible
Faith without deeds with dead
now that i have held you in my own arms, I cannot let go till you are

I am on a plane across a distant sea
But i carry you in me
and the dust on, the dust on, the dust on my feet
Rwanda

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