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 |
