Unity is our pride, brotherhood our strength
Hate and tribalism, we do not want at all
We have to unite, to build our country
Let there be no-one, who will pull us apart

I live, I hope, I sacrifice forever for Kenya
Surely as the flag is my fortress
Black is for the people,red is for the blood
Green is for the land, white is for the peace
Forever I am Kenyan, a patriotic citizen

In pain and suffering, in cries and agony
Our freedom was grabbed for us by the heroes of old
They were not deterred by the bullets
Or even the the imprisonments
Their aim was redemption, breaking the colonial shackles

I live, I hope, I sacrifice forever for Kenya
Surely as the flag is my fortress
Black is for the people,red is for the blood
Green is for the land, white is for the peace
Forever I am Kenyan, a patriotic citizen
