Kenya the Beautiful
Spoken Intro (Soloist, emotional and proud):
"This is Kenya.
The land that planted the seeds for the first African-American president, Barack Obama.
The land of Nobel laureate Wangari Maathai, whose legacy should shine in Karura Forest.
The land of Tom Mboya, the greatest president we never had.
Oh Kenya, you are beauty, resilience, and hope."
[Instruments: Warm piano melody, soft guitar strums, and a soulful saxophone setting the mood.]
Verse 1 (Soloist):
This is the land of Sauti Sol’s sweet sound,
Where sandy beaches in Diani abound.
From Malindi's shores to Nairobi’s glow,
A city park where the wild rivers flow.
Choir (harmonizing):
Oh Kenya, cradle of dreams,
Your light shines bright in every beam.
The tea, the roses, your gifts divine,
A love unshaken, forever mine.
Chorus (Choir):
Oh Kenya the beautiful, how I adore you,
Your strength, your people, your skies so blue.
From the mountains to the seas, where champions rise,
Born Kenyan, die Kenyan, under your skies.
[Instruments: Drums join softly, lifting the rhythm as the saxophone weaves through.]
Verse 2 (Soloist):
This is the home of the resilient and wise,
Gen Zs who stood up, their spirits would not die.
We are the tech hub, the cradle of mankind,
The best coffee, the best roses you’ll find.
Choir (call and response):
Soloist: "Oh Kenya!"
Choir: "The pride of our heart!"
Soloist: "Forever united!"
Choir: "We’ll never fall apart!"
Bridge (Soloist, passionately):
From the hills of Kericho to Mount Kenya’s peak,
Your story is one the whole world seeks.
Karura Forest to honor Maathai’s name,
Your heroes and champions forever in fame.
[Instruments: Uplifting strings swell, building to an emotional saxophone solo.]
Final Chorus (Choir, with a powerful key change):
Oh Kenya the beautiful, how I adore you,
Your strength, your people, your skies so blue.
From the mountains to the seas, where champions rise,
Born Kenyan, die Kenyan, under your skies.
Outro (Soloist, spoken with love and pride):
"Kenya, land of courage, land of dreams.
The world sees your light, and we hold your hope.
We are proud, we are resilient, we are Kenyan.
Oh Kenya, the beautiful, how I love you."
[Instruments: Soft piano and saxophone fade out, leaving an echo of pride)
