Versuri
Intro – spoken softly, almost like a prayer]
When the morning breaks in Rwanda,
We rise with our hands, our hearts, and our hope.
For the land that made us,
For the love that raised us,
We build… as one.
---
[Verse 1]
Drums of the valley call my name,
Echoes of my fathers do the same.
Stone by stone, we mend the scars,
Turning ashes into stars.
From Gisenyi to Kigali’s sun,
We work ’til every heart’s as one.
No crown, no throne, no fame to chase —
Just the rhythm of His grace.
---
[Chorus]
We build as one (eh-eh),
Under the Rwandan sun (oh-oh).
Hands to the sky, feet on the ground,
Where love and labor meet — we’re found.
Heaven smiles when we’re together,
God’s own people, one forever.
We build as one, we build as one.
---
[Verse 2]
Voices hum in the fields so wide,
Mothers sing and the children smile.
This is not work, it’s worship’s sound,
The holy rhythm of our ground.
No rich, no poor — the dust don’t care,
We all are equal working there.
Forgiveness flows, the drums forgive,
In Umuganda, we truly live.
---
[Bridge – rap/chant section, inspired by Kendrick energy]
Yeah, this the heartbeat, this the home tone,
Spirit of the nation in the backbone.
Faith don’t fade when the hands get sore,
We build again, then build some more.
God in the sweat, love in the clay,
We ain’t alone — He walks our way.
Every brick got a prayer inside,
That’s Rwanda — faith and pride.
---
[Chorus – reprise, fuller, choir style]
We build as one (eh-eh),
Under the Rwandan sun (oh-oh).
He gave us land, He gave us breath,
And we repay Him with our best.
Heaven smiles when we’re together,
God’s own people, one forever.
We build as one, we build as one.
---
[Outro – quiet and soulful]
When the world asks who we are,
We point to the dust beneath our scars.
For in this soil, our story begun —
Umuganda… we build as one.
When the morning breaks in Rwanda,
We rise with our hands, our hearts, and our hope.
For the land that made us,
For the love that raised us,
We build… as one.
