inBeloved Kenya,
I dedicate this song to you because at this point in time, I have no words of my own to express my anguish at what’s going on with you. Hopefully the political class and the perpetrators of the violence get their minds and hearts right to preserve your integrity. We love you always.
Time is wasted, we were meant to love each other
Separation, is the root of all our problems
If I hurt you then I hurt myself; Hate you then I hate myself
If I kill you – I kill me
But if I love you like I love me,
And if I treat you like I treat me
Oh what a world (what a world ) this would be
Oh what a world (what a world) when I see, YOU ARE ME!
We are dying, bodies lying in the street
From the silence unmarked graves are crying out for peace
If I turn my back and walk away say… that’s not me so I’m okay – I fail
Cos it goes on and on again
But if I love you like I love me,
And if I treat you like I treat me
Oh what a world (what a world ) this would be
Oh what a world (what a world), when I see….
You are me and I am you: One blood, one spirit,
One world we are living and we could be the change we need
If I love you like I love me
And if I treat you like I treat me
Ohhh what a world…what a world …what a
world this would be
Kenya no one has more faith in you than I. Lets fix this, I know we can fix this. #NotOneMore life lost to senseless violence. This should be our unified message to the ruling elite.

inMany Kenyans feel this should be our unofficial second anthem. Beautiful love song to one’s country.
For more on Kenya please see:
Meanwhile, please find below what I hope are the accurate lyrics to this beautiful song:
Our glory lies in unity, our strength in our accord
Hatred and disparity, we cannot afford
Our task is incomplete, if our souls and minds don’t meet
If there’s one in the multitude, who does not share our attitude
To work, to dream, to live for Kenya only
Let my flag remind me, of my sacred duty
Black for the people, green for the land, red for the price of freedom,
and white for peace in Kenya, my pride, my strength, my joy
Always will be Kenyan, in pride and strength and joy
It makes no sense for us to die, to lose our costly soul
When blood was shed and tears were wept, to gain our self control
Our neighbours die and grieve, having lacked and lost belief
Now the soil’s contaminated, with the blood of hatred so,
I’ll work, I’ll dream, I’ll live for Kenya only
Let my flag remind me, of my sacred duty
Black for the people, green for the land, red for the price of freedom,
and white for peace in Kenya, my pride, my strength, my joy
Always will be Kenyan, in pride and strength and joy
Peace is so fragile, here for a moment and gone soon
I swear here and now, there’s not much I would not do
To protect our peaceful unity, that we may live to see maturity
I’d slave, I’d brace adversity, to preserve our home’s integrity
I’d weep, I’d mourn, I’d pray for Kenya only
So let my flag remind me, of my sacred duty
Though I search until I die, there will be none beside thee
I dream of only Kenya, my pride, my strength and joy
Pray for peace in Kenya, my pride, my strength, my joy
NOTE: Of course with lyrics we all hear our own things hahaha, especially from the 2nd verse! So please let me know of any/all the corrections, thanks!

inKenya, may you forever be blessed! This song still brings tears to my eyes.
Umoja ni fahari yetu
Undugu ndio nguvu
Chuki na ukabila
Hatutaki hata kamwe
Lazima tuungane, tuijenge nchi yetu
Pasiwe hata mmoja
Anaetenganisha
Naishi, Natumaini,
Najitolea daima Kenya,
Hakika ya bendera
Ni uthabiti wangu
Nyeusi ya wananchi na nyekundu ni ya damu
Kijani ni ya ardhi, nyeupe ya amani
Daima mimi mkenya
Mwananchi mzalendo

inHARRY KIMANI-NATIONAL ANTHEM by Harry Kimani on SoundCloud – Hear the world’s sounds.
English Version:
O God of all creation
Bless this our land and nation
Justice be our shield and defender
May we dwell in unity
Peace and liberty
Plenty be found within our borders.
Let one and all arise
With hearts both strong and true
Service be our earnest endeavour
And our homeland of Kenya
Heritage of splendour
Firm may we stand to defend.
Let all with one accord
In common bond united
Build this our nation together
And the glory of Kenya
The fruit of our labour
Fill every heart with thanksgiving.
#AwesomeKenya!
