UBETI
Kuna vita vingi twapigana, machozi yametiririka.
Siku hizi chuki imetanda. Uchungu umetuandama.
KABLA
Upepo mkali usiku na mchana kutwa..
KIITIKIO
Tuhurumie, utuponye.
Bila wewe hatuna lolote.
Tubadilishe, utuoshe
Tusiangamie bure
Kwa Neema utusamehe, turudishe.
VERSE
Uncertainty has knocked on our doors & despair wants to abide with us.
If we don't have you then we have nothing
As a nation we have one desire.
PRE CHORUS
Come stop this cold blowing wind, that gets colder as the days go by
CHORUS
We need your healing hand, come save this land
Without you there's no promise of tomorrow.
Change our circumstance, cast a loving glance, or we'll have no reason to live for.
Tuhurumie, utuponye.
Bila wewe hatuna lolote.
Tubadilishe, utuoshe
Tusiangamie bure
REFRAIN
Overlook our weakness and our sin, bring us to you (X2)
Kwa Neema utusamehe, turudishe (X2)

GONNA BE ALRIGHT
VERSE: I can see there's a rainbow, at the end of the storm. Everything that we've been through only makes us strong. Every cloud has a lining, every start an end. It's all about timing, now or later then..
PRE CHORUS:
It's alright if your hurt, but your hurt's not permanent (you're gonna be out alright you'll see)
If it didn't work out now, that's not how it ends... in a moment you'll be free..
CHORUS:
It gets better, you'll be fine, (gonna be Alright)X2
You'll be brighter, dark to light (gonna be Alright)X2
VERSE:
Everything is a lesson, if you sit in class. You can take the assignment and the test will pass. Declare your victory, you're almost there; and when you make it, don't forget to share..
PRE CHORUS:
It's alright you were hurt but your hurt wasn't permanent (you came out alright, you see? ).
Yes it didn't work out but it's better in the end, it's your moment and your free..
CHORUS
BRIDGE:
Wear a smile, rays of Sun in just a little while, ooh yea; and you're gonna be just fine...
CHORUS
