Leaving for Nicaragua

Leaving manana for Nicaragua, and the not-so-big 19 birthday has finally arrived. I'll be departing at 1:50 and returning on June 27th around 5. Excited to be traveling as usual, but I think the only thing I want to post right now is why I have been compelled to do this.



Brooke Fraser "Albertine"

I am sitting still
I think of Angeline
Her mother's voice over me
And the bullets and the war
Where it fell silent

And on a thousandth hill
I think of Albertine
There in her eyes
What i don't see
with my eye oh

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 till you are...

And I am on a plane
Across a distant sea
But I carry you in me
In the dust on... the dust on... the dust on... 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 till 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 till you are...

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



Understand this; "Now that I have seen, I am responsible. Faith without deeds is dead."

See you in 5 weeks.
