Brooke Fraser - Albertine songtekst

Over deze songtekst:

In 2005 ging Brooke Fraser namens de organisatie 'World Vision' naar Rwanda. Daar kreeg ze contact met een meisje, een wees, die Albertine heet. Haar gids, Joel, vertelde Brooke dat hij haar had kunnen redden van de genocide, die daar plaats had gevonden in 1994.
Het lied 'Albertine' vertelt dit verhaal.

De video hierbij is opgenomen in Rwanda in 2007.

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

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

And 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, the dust on, the dust on my feet

Rwanda

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

I will tell the world
I will tell them where I've been
I will keep my word
I will tell them Albertine

Rwanda

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

I am on a stage
A thousand eyes on me
I will tell them, Albertine
I will tell them, Albertine
