A Million Voices

Opened my homepage today and saw the headline: Crisis summit wishes for ceasefire as new fighting erupts. (Article)

Really hope Paul Kagame would live up to his name and do something about it. RPF stopped the genocide back in the 90s, what now?

The main protagonists, feuding presidents Paul Kagame of Rwanda and Joseph Kabila of the Democratic Republic of Congo, turned up but held no direct talks.

Lyrics - A Million Voices

Ni dyar'izuba, Rizagaruga, Hejuru yadju, Nduzaricyeza ricyeza.
[When will the sun rise again? Who will reveal it us again? ]

Rwanda, Rwanda,
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, Drowned in the fire but you never get burned,'but I wish that I 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

Yeah, Rwanda Rwanda

Ni dyar'izuba, Rizagaruga, Hejuru yadju, Nduzaricyeza ricyeza.

These are the cries of the children

Rwanda Rwanda

Ni dyar'izuba, Rizagaruga, Hejuru yadju, Nduzaricyeza ricyeza.

Anybody hear my cry?

If America, is the United States of America, Then why can't Africa, be the United States of Africa?

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
Yeah, yeah.

Ni dyar'izuba, Rizagaruga, Hejuru yadju, Nduzaricyeza ricyeza.

These are the cries of the children, yeah.

Ni dyar'izuba, Rizagaruga, Hejuru yadju, Nduzaricyeza ricyeza.

Can anybody out there hear our cries?

Yeah, heavens cry ... Jesus cry.

Lord, did you hear us calling you?
Yeah, Rwanda Rwanda,

Lord, did you hear us calling?
Can you do something in Rwanda?

Rwanda Rwanda, Rwanda Rwanda

I'm talkin' 'bout Jesus; talkin' 'bout Rwanda Rwanda Rwanda

Talkin' 'bout ... talk'n 'bout ... talk'n 'bout ... talk'n 'bout....
I wanna play my guitar for Rwanda....

This is why it feels so wrong to correct our children when they mistake Africa as a country as they learn the continents of the world. It's like acknowledging the fact of division and continuing to etch it in the minds of our future generations. Pray hard that the future will change for the better.

You Are Chocolate Chip Ice Cream

You are kind, popular, and generous.
You tend to be successful at anything you try.
A social butterfly, you are great at entertaining a crowd.

You are most compatible with strawberry ice cream.
