[Verse 1: G1M]
I'mma keep on praying for the country that I love
For all the souls lost, I pray one day I'll see them above
I didn't even know their names
But I still let my tears fall like rain
Red and yellow black and white
I know they are all special in his sight
But could you tell me how this happened
You know how many hearts this has blackened
[Hook: G1M]
A time comes where we all unite
Different races surrounding me at my left and right
Yeah, and I don't care if I'm up all night
I'mma stand for what's right until the sunrise
Injured on the ground praying for one last every gasp
My country in mourning so we fly our flags at half mast
The very idea of my loving nation getting attacked
Is so hard to comprehend, so hard for me to grasp
My heart is fastened on my city like a rock or cement
So much evil and pain, it's hard for me to even pretend
That nothing was ever going on, that I didn't lose friends
All I can do to help now is reach out my arms and extend
[Bridge: G1M]
And you'll be able to hear my voice loud
I don't care if I'm heard
This right here is where I'm from
This is my city, and all my people are one
[Hook: G1M]
One nation, one people, this is Kenya
The city of fresh water, and blooming jacarandas
We are ones who watch the sun set on the savannah
No force can penetrate this bond, this is our mantra
[Verse 3: G1M]
This is something that can't leave my mind
Stuck in my heart something I will never leave behind
We will not repeat the past, nor shall we let ourselves rewind
Even if it's blurred lines that we cannot understand or define
Red green and black, these are the colors of my heart
Flag on my back, and a flag flying high up in the stars
Are we gonna run away, IDK, but you know I'm here to stay, yeah I'm here to stay
So I lift my hand to the sky in the shape of a fist
Jumping over fear at the bottom of the abyss
From Moyale all the way down to Kisii
Everybody's been affected
Everybody's felt the debris
We are the future but not the only hope of this world
We need to save our city it's a gem, like an emerald
And when people ask me where I'm from
I'm from the land of the light, cuz we always see the sun
[Hook: G1M]
One nation, one people, this is Kenya
The city of fresh water, and blooming jacarandas
We are ones who watch the sun set on the savannah
No force can penetrate this bond, this is our mantra
