Intashyo Lyrics (Uwamahoro's Part)

Flashback April 1994

watching graphic scenes 

off your tv screens

yet it seems-

our screams were silent 

don’t understand it-

The UN said it’s 

not enough to demand it-

should be stopped-

Rwanda’s cries 

in the news-

the world watched 

CNN BBC 

like movie-

they had eyes on us 

but they could’t not to see

genocide had us terrorized 

victimized but no one realized

So many lost ones.

so many orphans

so many guns

 so many machetes

so many people on ,their knees 

so many unheard prayers 

begging ,God please

so many questions 

so little answers

so much hate

so many late

aunties and uncles

mummies and Daddies

so much pain

so much wrong fame for my 250

so many bruises 

so many sores 

so many terrible stories 

so many tears  so many fears

so many memories so little pictures

so many mixtures of emotions

so much confusion

so much need to move ahead

so we agreed to put it in for unity

good morning to our viewers and listeners

 it is April 7th 2015

and today Rwandans all over the world Commemorate the Genocide against the

tutsi that happened 21 years ago-

We have a special guests here, in the studio from Rwanda,

who are  to tell us- what its like to be  a young adult, coming from and living

Rwanda today-thank you all for joining us— the floor is yours

where we would doubt 

now there is dreams

where we were hopeless

now we are hopeful

the faces we used to cry on 

we put a smile on

where we were fearful 

now we are fearless 

where there was hate

now there is love

where we were broken

we put it together

where there was pain, 

now there is pleasure

where there was rain

now there is sunshine 

what was division 

now is unity

what there was confusion

now is clarity
