Lyrics
Ni ryar'izuba rizagaruka hejuru yacu
Ni nduzaricyeza ricyeza
Ni ryar'izuba rizagaruka hejuru yacu
Ni nd'uzaricyeza
Rwanda, Rwanda yeah yeah
Rwanda, Rwanda
They said: "Many are called and few are chosen"
But I wish some wasn't chosen
For the blood spilling of Rwanda
They said: "Meshach Eshach and Abednego
Thrown in the fire but you never get burned"
But I wish some didn't get burned in Rwanda
They said: "The man is judged according to his works"
So tell me Africa, what's your worth?
There's no money, no diamonds, no fortunes
On this planet that can replace Rwanda
Rwanda, Rwanda
Ni ryar'izuba rizagaruka hejuru yacu
Ni nd'uzaricyeza ricyeza (These are the cries of the children)
Ni ryar'izuba rizagaruka hejuru yacu
Ni nd'uzaricyeza (Anybody hear my cry?)
Rwanda, Rwanda
If America, is the United States of America
Then why can't Africa, be the United States of Africa? (Rwanda, Rwanda)
And if England, is the United Kingdom
Then why can't Africa unite all the kingdoms
And become United Kingdom of Africa?
Rwanda Rwanda, Rwanda Rwanda
Ni ryar'izuba rizagaruka hejuru yacu
Ni nd'uzaricyeza ricyeza (These are the cries of the children)
Ni ryar'izuba rizagaruka hejuru yacu
Ni nd'uzaricyeza (Can anybody out there hear our cries?)
Ni ryar'izuba rizagaruka (Yeah, heavens cry)
Hejuru yacu (Jesus cries)
Ni nd'uzaricyeza
Lord, can you hear us calling you?
Ni ryar'izuba rizagaruka hejuru yacu (Yeaaahhhhhhhh)
Ni nd'uzaricyeza ricyeza (Rwanda Rwanda)
Ni ryar'izuba rizagaruka hejuru yacu (Yeah can you hear us calling?, Rwanda Rwanda)
Ni nd'uzaricyeza (Can you do something in Rwanda?)
I'm talkin' 'bout Rwanda
Ni ryar'izuba rizagaruka hejuru yacu (Rwanda)
Ni nd'uzaricyeza ricyeza
I'm talkin' 'bout Rwanda, Rwanda
Talkin' 'bout, talk'n 'bout
Talkin' 'bout, talk'n 'bout
I wanna play my guitar for Rwanda
Ni ryar'izuba rizagaruka hejuru yacu
Ni nd'uzaricyeza
Ni ryar'izuba rizagaruka hejuru yacu
Ni nd'uzaricyeza ricyeza
Ni ryar'izuba rizagaruka hejuru yacu
Ni nd'uzaricyeza ricyeza
Ni ryar'izuba rizagaruka hejuru yacu
Ni nd'uzaricyeza
Ni ryar'izuba rizagaruka hejuru yacu
