When I was born my mother’s tears meant many things
She had tears of mourn because of her dear ones she had lost
Tears of pain because of all the hurt she had gone through
And tears of joy because she believed I am tomorrow’s hope
I grew up in a land of mixed feelings
My mama land cried, lost children
My mama land mourns thousands she lost
My mama land is dancing, it is liberated from atrocities
But above all
My mama land remembers the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi, as our history and it shapes who we are today
Back in the days, death was asylum
Prisons home
And refugee camps were all we knew
Today light shines upon Rwanda
The land of a thousand hills is today the land of a thousand smiles
We stand as one people, full of hope and dreams
The youth striving for change
The mistakes made by our elders will not imprison us
Self reliance is our motto
Change our goal
Peace and love our dream
And unity our prayer
Wonderful
