Rwanda Rock

This is my fourth music video project I did for English class 08. This is about the Rwandan Genocide. I got a 100% on this project.

Lyrics:
Back in nineteen-ninety-four,
The assassination caused a war.
Juvénal's plane was shot down,
Now to Rwanda they were bound.

If I leave it could be death.
I would take my final breath.
Half-a-million lost their lives.
All those widows once were wives.

Children and their families gone.
Although so short 'seemed so long.
Hutu militia raided their home.
They were left to be alone.

The Hutus were the cause of this.
The Tutsis were the poor victims.
Three months of genocide.
In Rwanda most have died.

(chorus)
Our home is gone. Our food is gone,
It can't seem to get any worse.
Rwanda. Rwanda.
Protect me till July.

Bombs go off in mid-air.
Hutus shooting guns.
Rwanda. Rwanda.
Protect me till July.

(verse 2)
The economy was not doing good.
Their leader's plane was shot down.
This inspired many to rise.
Many bad ones that despise.

Us Rwandens didn't do much.
I had no goal, nothing to touch.
I knew if I fought back.
My life would be something I lack.




Many kids, just like me.
Were left orphaned without plea.
Many of us were left to die.
My parents were killed I started to cry.

My neighbors were to massacre,
Or else they'd be massacred.
So they did their job unwillingly.
I wish this didn't have to be.

(chorus)
Mama's gone. Papa's is gone,
It can't seem to get any worse.
Rwanda. Rwanda.
Protect me till July.

Bombs go off in mid-air.
Hutus shooting guns.
Rwanda. Rwanda.
Protect me till July.

(verse 3)
Telegrams and messages were sent.
To bring them over is what it meant.
The United Nations sent their armies.
They thought it would help maybe.

France stood by and held our hand.
Now our villages were heavily manned.
They made sure that we were safe.
They made sure that we weren't waifed.

Our government has been fixed.
Now it isn't badly mixed.
We've got our leader he's been good.
Just like the last few should.

The refugees are in jail.
They've been caught and punished.
It was fair and thankfully well.
On that they have to dwell.




(chorus)
France is here. Safety's here.
It can't seem to get any worse.
Rwanda. Rwanda.
Protect me till July.

Bombs go off in mid air.
Hutus shooting guns.
Rwanda. Rwanda.
Protect me till July.

France is here. Safety's here.
It can't seem to get any worse.
Rwanda. Rwanda.
Protect me till July.

Bombs go off in mid air.
Hutus shooting guns.
Rwanda. Rwanda.
Protect me till July.
