Imigongo (feat. Faith Mussa & RataJah)

Imigongo Imigongo Don't let them tell you that you are done Imigongo Imigongo God makes a masterpiece out of dung Don't let these trials get you down Or let the world say you are doomed Imigongo They'll try to put you in the ground Even if they do it's time to bloom Well imigongo it is black and white Like the darkness and light Not the colors of our skin But the struggle we a fight Black and white Like the day into night Yes everywhere we go we have to Shine our light It is black and white Could a gray or crimson Reminding me that we're on a mission To erase the gray from out of our lives With the crimson blood of our Lord Jesus Christ Mwandimasula ku nsinga za Satana (You have freed me from the bondage of sin) Ndinali ndani popanda Yehova (Who would I have been without you Oh Lord?) Ngati dongo mmanja mwa oumba (Like clay in the hands of the potter) Mwandiumba kukhala okongola (You have molded me to be so beautiful) Ndayera kuposa matalala ine (And you washed me whiter than snow) Ndipakamwa pako ukavomereza (If you confess your sins with your mouth) Machimo ako mbuye azafafaniza (He will completely wipe away your sins) Yeah, imigongo Imigongo Imigongo Don't let them tell you that you are done Imigongo Imigongo God makes a masterpiece out of dung Wanditulutsa (You have pulled me up) Wandisambitsa (You have washed me) Wandiyeretsa (You have cleansed me) Imigongo Traveling from Malawi to Uganda I came upon this man in Rwanda I see these symbols on the walls Everywhere that we go-o-o He looked at me and smiled In his Kinyarwanda style He said, "That is called imigongo."
