I WILL RISE ANYWAY

I WILL RISE ANYWAY

Someday somewhat I will rise anyway

From the deep embers of hopelessness

To the highest point of selfless stardom

And be a fierce fighter for true freedom

Seeking a society free of the man eaters

Who care not about the ordinary citizen

Someday somewhat I will rise anyway

To give voice to the voiceless that is us

A tool to bring forth equity and justice

And bring hope to the hopeless at last

A sincere sacrifice deep from the heart

Someday somewhat I will rise anyway

Above the enclaves of tribal shackles

And embrace the diversity in Kenya

Calling for all and sundry to unite as one

Focusing on our similarities not differences

Someday somewhat I will rise anyway

Beyond the chronic despair that is my life

And share my story to act as an inspiration

That nothing is impossible with determination

Though we may lose the battle but never the war

Someday somewhat I will rise anyway

And lead a revolution of the like-minded

Without shedding of blood of the innocent

For the sake of selfish gains of few people

But to emancipate the poor from the rich

And herald sanity in building the nation
