Here you are
Here I am
Here they are
We are here

In this world
Full of sorrow
Full of war
Full of injustices
Full of half truths
Lacking reconciliations

But we have to move on
So we here
The voices of reasoning reckoning

But do we hear
As the wind full of cries pass
The cries of young children
The cries of our mothers
The cries of our neighbours
The cries of our sisters
The cries of our brothers
Oh! The list is quite long

But wait a minute
How did it all start
It is true we have to put off the fire
Then enquire
How it all started

Now the fire has stopped burning
How did it all start
Well it was some injustices
It was some lack of truth
It was the robbing of the hope
Of many young people

But does it justify
The blood bath we are seeing
The loss of property we are seeing
The loss of livelihood we are experiencing

We need to come together
To save the world
But also note that
PEACE without JUSTICE and TRUTH
Will never be sustained for long
But PEACE with JUSTICE and TRUTH
Is as long lasting as eternal life
A message of peace for the bleeding Kenya
