Albertine

"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 is 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

[CHORUS]

[BRIGDE]

I will tell the world, I will tell them where I've been

I will keep my word

I will tell them Albertine

[CHORUS]

I am on a stage, a thousand eyes on me

I will tell them, Albertine

I will tell them, Albertine
