U Rwanda
Beautiful Land of a thousand hills
Brave Land that survived
Like a phoenix rose from ashes
When I look at you Rwanda, I can’t help it but start praising
Praising you mamaland,
For raising your voice
Not shouting as it sounds, but letting your actions speak
By your choices a nation was built
The choice to carry on a dream
The choice to let the light within me beam
The choice to carry on and accomplish the dreams of those who walked this path before us
The choice to be courageous & attempt what no one else has ever had the courage to do
The choice to walk through the rockiest of roads in order to leave tracks that will one day be followed
The choice to believe in the power of togetherness
The choice to walk hand in hand even through the darkness
The choice to trust the good in others
And the choice to work heart to heart with others
Because we are a summation, one nation
And never shall we betray our foundation
You make us so proud to be Rwandese
We even carry our flags overseas
We might speak with accents
But don’t be mistaken please
We, are RWANDESE and
Kinyarwanda makes more sense to us
It is true we wear different clothes too
Short dresses and tight jeans…
But WE FEEL at our best
When dressed
In a Mushanana
It’s all true
We can dab, two step and twerk
Coz We’re able
But We dance best
When it’s Amaraba
We are so proud to be Rwandese
That our bodies ache/itch for us to tattoo it, somewhere on our skin
In case you can’t feel it from within
We, are Rwandan
Because of you
We are one people
One nation
One language
One culture
