(Verse One)
Why are we forgetting, how far we have come from
When we fought together for our freedom as Kenyans ahh!
We come together and raised our flag
Why are we now turning against each other?
During my birth, Kenya was there, and if even after me it will go on and remain around
Just as today is different from tomorrow
That how happiness is separated from
Without peace no work can go on
And without work no food to eat
Without food we will starve
If we starve we will eventually die.
(Chorus)
All Kenyans let’s live in peace
Let’s give our children the present
Of a peaceful environment*2
(Verse Two)
Peace, love, and unity it talks about philosophy
It’s not a secret, white colour of our flag, it’s not a celling
Peace in the result, peace is the reason
Together we, united we, Kenya, am proud to be Kenyan
Peaceful Kenya, brotherhood Kenya, living in a peaceful nation
Suddenly, I notice people running,
A stormy cloud’
A smoke fog forming around,
My mother land was burning down,
My country was burning down
(Chorus)
(Verse Three)
Let’s not forget where we have come from,
All that we have gone through together,
Together we can,
Redeem ourselves,
Let’s not be divided to hatered, corruption and tribalism,
Stones, panga and arrows,
Let’s put them down and not kill each other,
Let’s maintain peace together,
And build our country together, oh
(Chorus)
Japanese ver.
