“Sauti kutoka Kenya, Kiswahili (voice of Kenya, Swahili)
African South East
Seeing human habitations
Since the beginning of Lowe Paleolithic
Multi-ethnic
Cross roads of the Bantu,
Nilo-Saharan and Afro-Asiatic ethno linguistic
Should I oppress my skin colour for your acceptance
My precious gemstones melted and molded for your ungratefulness
While load shedding strikes I can provide hydropower
While you say I steal, I say let us learn and make tomorrow ours
Skill we were not born with
Zealousness avidity committedness we all possess
Murder my kid I murder yours
Teach my children I will teach yours
Feed me and I will lift you up
Brotherhood sisterhood lovable hood
We belong should we never belong
To a home that is better than my own
See beyond ethnicity
Sauti Kutoka Kenya
