LYRICS
Unity is our pride, brotherhood our strength,
Hate and tribalism, we do not want at all,
We have to unite, to build our country,
Let there be no-one, who will pull us apart.

(chorus)
I live, I hope, I sacrifice forever for Kenya,
Surely as the flag is my fortress,
Black is for the people,red is for the blood,
Green is for the land, white is for the peace,
Forever i am Kenyan, a patriotic citizen.

In pain and suffering, in cries and agony,
Our freedom was grabbed for us by the heroes of old,
They were not deterred by the bullets, or even the the imprisonments,
Their aim was redemption, breaking the colonial shackles.

(...chorus)

Now our obligation and responsibility, is to live in love,
From the lake to the sea, from the North to the South.

Who Is to Blame? |

How did Mandella get the will to surpass the everyday
when injustice had him caged and trapped in every way?
How did Gandhi ever withstand the hunger strikes and all
Didn't do it to gain money or power if I recall.

it's the gift,
I guess I'll pass it on
Mother thinks it'll lift
the stress of Babylon
Mother knows,
My mother she suffered blows
I don't know how we survived such violent episodes

I was so worried, and hurt to see you bleed
But as soon as you came out the hospital you gave me sweets

They tried to take you from me, but you still only gave them some prayers and sympathy
Dear Momma, you helped me write this
by showing me to give is priceless

And any man who knows a thing knows he knows not a damn damn thing at all,
And any time I felt the hurtin' I felt the givin' gettin' me up off the wall.
I'm just gonna take minute and let it ride,
I'm just gonna take a minute and it breeze

I'm just gonna take minute and let it ride,
I'm just gonna take a minute and it breeze
