Weep, O' Kenya, Weep!

 

Weep, O' Kenya, Weep!

Kenya, O' Kenya, why is your head bowed.

Why are you no longer proud,

Have you misplaced your ancestors, 

Have you lost your future,

Tell me, for what, do you weep?

Tell me, why do you weep,

Do not the people have hope.

Land of my people, why do you weep;

The slaver left many years ago,

The colonizer retreated in fear of you,

Surely the oppressor is not among you.

Who is this that makes you weep;

Have you killed your children.

Then, weep O' Kenya weep! 

Perhaps your tears, will water the seeds of a transformed destiny.

Weep, O' Kenya Weep!
