Albertine - Brooke Fraser


I am sitting still
I think of Angelique
Her mother's 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 in the dust, 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...

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

"And the bullets in the wall where it fell silent" makes me shiver more than anything else in the whole song. Also, it is my personal message on messanger, but you can only see it when I use eBuddy because Trillian suxxors.
