Kenya Sun

Daphne Loubser

Lyrics

Kenya, you wake up in gold and wide-open air, A sunrise so big it’s everywhere. Long roads humming through open land, With the sky like a shelter you understand. Kenya sun steady and bright, Turns every distance into light. From grasslands far to lakes that shine, You make slow travel feel divine. Maasai Mara endless, clear, Hills rolling out like a frontier. Lake Nakuru catching the day, Mirror-water where the breezes play. Kenya sun steady and bright, Turns every distance into light. From grasslands far to lakes that shine, You make slow travel feel divine. Mount Kenya wearing snow so high, While warm winds move the lower sky. And when the evening cool comes through, Even quiet feels brand new. Kenya sun steady and bright, Turns every distance into light. I leave with sand on my shoes, And a horizon I don’t want to lose.
