We yearn for justice,
We yearn for peace,
We yearn for harmony,
We yearn for togetherness.
Oh, Excellency, listen to us,
Oh, deceitful Excellency, listen to us,
Kenya is our homeland,
Do not cast us away
With this burdened life.
Living standards have soared,
Taxes burden us,
Fuel prices rise,
Education has become unaffordable.
Fear has gripped the people,
Fear treads their steps,
Your soldiers, under your command,
Disperse them with tear gas,
An oppressive haze.
God, hear the cries of Kenya,
God, listen to our prayers,
The Leader you sent to us,
In this cherished nation,
Has transformed into a tyrant,
God, save us from this plight.
