Rwanda –

is not hotel Rwanda

No –

Rwanda is the heart beating life of Africa –

The world's example and definition of hope, resilience and ambition

If you haven't yet heard

listen,

Grab a pen and learn –

Rwanda is a lesson.

Rwanda is where the great Kivu lake

Rests in –

Where the birds of the Nyungwe forest

Nest in

and the foreign investors fly all the way to

Invest in

What's happening right now in Rwanda

Is interestin’

And its amazin’

To be a part of and watch …

Watch …

Rwanda

Rwanda is

Tens of growing cities

Hundreds of opportunities

The land of a thousand hills –

The faces of a million smiles –

And just

one people –

We are united back home –

Where I come from …

In Rwanda there is freedom

Where we live in peace

And live as we please

Yemwe simvuga amahanga

Nda vuga iwacu murwanda

Ahari kubera ibitangaza –

Rwanda Is

birds and lakes

Lights and city streets,

Volcanoes and silver backs,

Restaurants,

Cinemas and coffee beans,

teas, industries, electricity and honey bees …

I come from the earth's last piece of paradise

A big-hearted land

Where my people

Chose forgiveness

From the atrocities they witnessed

A land

Where we are not afraid to speak the truth

A land

Where there is room for the youth

A land

Where one people work hard hand in hand

To demand,

Justice and dignity –

We come from a land –

That has risen from the ashes of sorrow

To the rose blossom of tomorrow

A land

of Agaciro –

We come from that land

So NO –

Rwanda

is not hotel Rwanda –

We will not be defined by the genocide

Rwanda is

A land of pride –

The home to

dreamers, believers and achievers,

Learners and teachers

Humans and creatures

the heart beating life of Africa –

The world's example and definition of hope, resilience and ambition

If you haven't yet heard

Yo, I hope you listened

Rwanda is a lesson!!!
