Albertine
[Verse 1]
I am sitting still, I think of Angelique
Her mother's voice over me
And the bullets in the wall where it fell silent
[Verse 2]
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 is dead
Now that I have held you in my own arms
I cannot let go 'til you are
[Post-Chorus]
I'm on my way
[Verse 3]
And I am on a plane across a distant sea
But I carry you in me
And in the dust, the dust on my feet
Rwanda
[Chorus]
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
[Bridge]
I will tell the world
I will tell them where I've been
I will keep my word
I will tell them, Albertine
Rwanda
[Chorus]
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
[Outro]
And I am on a stage, a thousand eyes on me
I will tell them, Albertine
I will tell them, Albertine
