I love this song. So beautiful. It's obvious what the song is about so no real need to explain. I have two favorite parts. The first being the lyrics "There’s no money, no diamonds, no fortunes on this planet that can replace Rwanda…" because sometimes it seems like many can't take a step back. They don't realize how valuable and priceless people, cultures, or the planet in general are. I can't understand why we are destroying these things. My second favorite part is when he says "I wanna play my guitar for Rwanda" I just love the sound at this part and how passionate he is for the cause, like he just wants to play for everyone that lost their lives and for those that survived .....just my thoughts.
My least favorite part of the song was where he asks why, if America and Britain had the United States of America and the United Kingdom, we should have the United States or Kingdoms of Africa.

All the people who suggested the same thing on a politically serious level, like Ghaddafi or Nkruma, always envisioned themselves as the rulers of this "united" kingdom of Africa, much like Napoleon or Hitler and...

We need to stop talking about pointless political unions and talk more about lifting Africans up from poverty by improving trade within the continent. Having a "united" kingdom of Africa serves no purpose and would not even protect the continent from colonialism if the West or other foreign enemies wanted to bring that back. We need to collaborate and compete with each other as Africans before we can take on the rest of the world.
