[male
vocals] (
Soft,
melancholic
drum
beat
echoing)
Listen
to
the
wind
blowing
over
the
savannah
There
is
a
sadness
in
the
air
tonight
In
the
land
we
love,
the
land
we
call
home
Oh
Kenya,
why
does
it
feel
like
we
are
drifting
apart?
The
campaign
posters
are
peeling
off
the
walls
Like
the
promises
we
made
when
we
stood
tall
I
remember
the
rallies,
the
fire
in
your
eyes
But
now
the
silence
screams
beneath
these
darkened
skies
We
walk
the
streets
where
we
once
held
hands
as
one
But
now
the
shadows
stretch
where
the
damage
is
done
Is
this
the
progress
that
we
fought
to
see?
A
fractured
nation
where
we
struggle
to
be
free
Oh
Kenya,
Kenya
for
peace,
can
you
hear
my
plea?
My
heart
is
breaking
for
the
soul
of
you
and
me
We
are
tearing
down
the
bridges
that
we
tried
to
build
Leaving
all
the
dreams
of
our
fathers
unfulfilled
Peace
in
Kenya,
it
is
all
that
I
am
craving
now
To
heal
the
divide,
to
make
a
solemn
vow
Oh
Kenya,
don't
let
this
be
the
end
of
our
song
Don't
let
the
hatred
prove
the
doubters
right
all
along
I
see
the
posters
faded
in
the
afternoon
rain
Every
political
slogan
brings
a
different
kind
of
pain
You
call
for
unity
while
holding
onto
thorns
In
the
garden
of
our
future,
a
bitter
wind
is
born
I
miss
the
laughter
that
used
to
fill
the
market
square
Before
the
competition
replaced
the
love
we
used
to
share
Now
we
are
strangers
standing
on
the
same
red
soil
Watching
all
our
brotherhood
start
to
recoil
Oh
Kenya,
Kenya
for
peace,
can
you
hear
my
plea?
My
heart
is
breaking
for
the
soul
of
you
and
me
We
are
tearing
down
the
bridges
that
we
tried
to
build
Leaving
all
the
dreams
of
our
fathers
unfulfilled
Peace
in
Kenya,
it
is
all
that
I
am
craving
now
To
heal
the
divide,
to
make
a
solemn
vow
Oh
Kenya,
don't
let
this
be
the
end
of
our
song
Don't
let
the
hatred
prove
the
doubters
right
all
along (
Slow,
stripped-back
percussion)
Is
it
worth
the
cost
of
the
blood
and
the
tears?
To
fuel
the
fire
of
our
accumulated
fears?
Look
at
the
children,
look
at
what
they
see
A
country
lost,
drifting
on
a
restless
sea
We
need
to
wake
up
before
the
sun
goes
down
And
reclaim
the
glory
of
our
beautiful
crown
Oh
Kenya,
Kenya
for
peace,
can
you
hear
my
plea?
My
heart
is
breaking
for
the
soul
of
you
and
me
We
are
tearing
down
the
bridges
that
we
tried
to
build
Leaving
all
the
dreams
of
our
fathers
unfulfilled
Peace
in
Kenya,
it
is
all
that
I
am
craving
now
To
heal
the
divide,
to
make
a
solemn
vow
Oh
Kenya,
don't
let
this
be
the
end
of
our
song
Don't
let
the
hatred
prove
the
doubters
right
all
along
Peace
in
Kenya...
Can
we
find
our
way
back?
Let
the
healing
start
today
Kenya
for
peace...
Kenya
for
us...
Just
peace.
