O
Kenya!
Peep
from the corner of thine eye and see your love
Tears
of honor and infuriation of joy for thee art edged
Sounds
of hope, with songs of citizenship beloved
I
will sing to thee with a will so profound
For
whence thine Peace goest, will I go…
O
Kenya!
My
dear, my beloved, my resound of a nation
My
land, my country, my prayer, my petition
My
people, my cities, my towns, my meditation
My
fight, my struggle, my turn for anticipation
On
thine walls I will wait in desperation
For
whence thine Peace goest, will I go…
I love you Kenya! I won't give you up! |
O Kenya!
My
emotion shall turn for thee
I
will not allow my courage to flee
Nor
my thought, nor my ability to see
For
thine beauty will I always behold in me
Forgetful
not of what a blessing from above you are to me
In
the deepest of my angst I will still see thee
For
whence thine Peace goest, will I go…
Yeah,
whence thine Peace goest, will I go
Praying,
panting, running for thine Peace
Even
shadows of thine dreadful past will grab me not
I
will keep praying, gasping, running for thine Peace…
O
Kenya! My beloved, my nation, my land…
Whence
thine Peace goest, will I go…
