Cry Uhuru Cry Freedom
Until the blood
Flowing in my veins equals
The blood flowing in theirs
The cry for freedom
Will persist and insist
Uhuru is my cry for freedom
Until the tongue
I speak and my religion
Is no different than the
Colour of their eyes
Uhuru is my cry for redemption
The cry for freedom
Will always prevail over
Machetes and AK 47s
Uhuru is my cry for freedom
Until our villages and towns
Are properly called
In their mother tongue
And not abused versions
The cry for freedom
Justice and equity will
Reach high pitch
Uhuru is my cry for freedom.
