Yeah,
the
sun
is
rising
over
the
hills
Time
for
a
new
season
in
our
home
Let’
s
walk
this
path
together
I
see
the
dust
rising
on
the
Meru
plains
I
feel
the
heartbeat
of
the
people
in
the
rains
From
the
coffee
farms
to
the
market
stands
I
want
to
hold
the
future
in
our
own
two
hands
I’
ve
heard
your
whispers
and
I’
ve
heard
your
prayers
I’
m
stepping
forward
to
lighten
all
the
cares
No
more
empty
promises,
no
more
games
to
play
It’
s
time
to
build
a
brighter
dawn
for
us
today
I’
m
running
for
the
heart
of
Meru
County
Where
the
love
flows
wide
with
a
steady
bounty
We’
re
building
up
the
roads,
we’
re
growing
every
field
With
honesty
and
service
as
our
only
shield
No
room
for
corruption,
no
shadow
in
the
gate
Just
a
clean,
honest
vision
for
our
common
state
Together
we
rise,
together
we
stand
Building
a
future
for
this
beautiful
land
I
love
the
spirit
that
beats
inside
your
chest
I
know
that
together
we
can
pass
the
test
We’
ll
bring
the
water
to
the
thirsty
ground
Where
every
voice
is
heard,
where
every
truth
is
found
I
look
you
in
the
eye,
I
give
you
my
word
My
mission
is
simple,
my
vision
is
heard
We’
ll
work
for
the
schools,
we’
ll
care
for
the
old
A
story
of
progress,
a
story
yet
to
be
told
I’
m
running
for
the
heart
of
Meru
County
Where
the
love
flows
wide
with
a
steady
bounty
We’
re
building
up
the
roads,
we’
re
growing
every
field
With
honesty
and
service
as
our
only
shield
No
room
for
corruption,
no
shadow
in
the
gate
Just
a
clean,
honest
vision
for
our
common
state
Together
we
rise,
together
we
stand
Building
a
future
for
this
beautiful
land
It’
s
not
about
the
power,
it’
s
about
the
people’
s
gain
Healing
every
struggle,
washing
out
the
stain
I’
m
ready
for
the
work,
I’
m
ready
for
the
fight
To
lead
this
county
into
the
morning
light
I’
m
running
for
the
heart
of
Meru
County
Where
the
love
flows
wide
with
a
steady
bounty
We’
re
building
up
the
roads,
we’
re
growing
every

With

No

for

state
Together
we
rise,
together
we
stand
Building
a
future
for
this
beautiful
land
Meru,
let’
s
rise
With
a
clear
heart
and
open
eyes
Working
for
you,
building
with
you
Our
time
is
here (
