Rwanda

Rwanda, Rwanda, Rwanda. Hey, tell me why, tell me why? Rwanda, Rwanda, Rwanda. Tell me why, tell me why? Who gave you the guns? Who gave you the bombs? Who gave you devices of destruction? Jah Jah gave us the moon, the sun, oh yeah! and all the land so why you wanna hurt and kill your brother man? Tell me why. Roots! I am the English-Jamaican-African who goes by the name of Pato Banton yeah once again well here I come like a Lion in the jungle proud and strong. So listen to me keenly and understand Mama Africa is a beautiful land the birthplace of every nation the mother of the whole civilization. That's why I can not understand all the suffering and the contention when will we learn how to live as one underneath Jah Jah moon and sun. Rwanda! I have a question: Why the tribal segregation? Rwanda! Where do the guns come from? And the ammunition? Rwanda! I bet is not an African probably some European. Rwanda! So many people a die. Why? Because of rumors and lies. Rwanda! What about the children's cries? Who will wipe the tears from their eyes? Rwanda! Somebody tell me why, won't somebody tell me? East, West, North and South Africa! The time has come to shake loose the chains that bind us and break down the barriers of prejudice that divide us. The gates of freedom are open wide the time has come for us to step inside. Let's move away of acts of genocide and all forms of racial suicide.
