My Land Is Kenya
My Land Is Kenya: A Melodic Tribute to Roots and Memories
Lyrics
You only got one mama
You only have one mother.
You only got one pa
You only have one father.
You only got one life to live
You have only one life to live, regardless of your identity.
No matter who you are
Regardless of who you are, everyone has one life.
You can go the whole world over
You can travel around the world.
Every city has its dawn
Each city has its own beginning or starting point.
But everybody liveth has one place where he was born
Everyone who lives has a place of birth.
And mine is Kenya, so warm and wild and free
The singer's birthplace is Kenya, described as warm, wild, and free.
You'll always stay with me here in my heart
The memories of Kenya will always be in the singer's heart.
My land is Kenya, right from your highlands to the sea
The singer declares Kenya as their land, from the highlands to the sea.
You'll always stay with me here in my heart, here in my heart.
Kenya will always have a place in the singer's heart.
You only got one childhood
You only have one childhood.
And the memories that spring
Memories from childhood are precious and significant.
When you see your house, the tree you climbed
Seeing familiar places triggers memories, like climbing a tree.
And all those precious things
Memories are associated with friends and special moments.
The faces of the friends I had
Recalling faces of friends from the past.
The images that flow
Images and memories that come to mind.
When I close my eyes in the land I love
Closing eyes brings memories of the beloved land (Kenya).
The land I was born
Referring to Kenya as the land of birth.
My land is Kenya, so warm and wild and free
Reiterating Kenya as a warm, wild, and free land.
You'll always stay with me here in my heart
The memories of Kenya will always be in the singer's heart.
My land is Kenya, right from your highlands to the sea
Kenya is described as extending from the highlands to the sea.
You'll always stay with me here in my heart, here in my heart
Kenya will always have a place in the singer's heart.
