The
sun
is
rising
high
o'er
the
hills
of
Meru
land
I
see
the
promise
in
the
fields
and
the
working
of
the
hand
From
the
valleys
to
the
peaks,
there’
s
a
spirit
running
deep
A
harvest
of
the
future
that
we
all
are
meant
to
keep
I’
ve
walked
along
the
dusty
roads,
I’
ve
listened
to
your
plea
I
see
the
strength
in
every
heart,
the
pride
in
all
I
see
For
the
love
of
all
our
people,
for
the
growth
we’
re
gonna
find
I’
m
standing
for
the
honest
path,
I’
m
leaving
doubt
behind
No
shadow
of
the
greedy,
no
closed
and
bolted
door
I’
m
building
up
our
Meru
County,
stronger
than
before
Development
is
calling,
we’
re
answering
the
light
Together
we
are
moving,
and
we’
re
doing
it
just
right
I
hate
the
way
the
silence
hides
the
things
that
aren't
fair
I’
m
bringing
down
the
curtains
on
the
schemes
that
linger
there
Your
money
is
for
progress,
for
the
schools
and
for
the
road
I’
m
here
to
lift
the
burden,
I
am
here
to
share
the
load
I’
m
not
looking
for
a
title,
I
am
looking
for
the
change
Bringing
dignity
back
home
within
our
mountain
range
For
the
love
of
all
our
people,
for
the
growth
we’
re
gonna
find
I’
m
standing
for
the
honest
path,
I’
m
leaving
doubt
behind
No
shadow
of
the
greedy,
no
closed
and
bolted
door
I’
m
building
up
our
Meru
County,
stronger
than
before
Development
is
calling,
we’
re
answering
the
light
Together
we
are
moving,
and
we’
re
doing
it
just
right
It’
s
about
the
next
generation,
it’
s
about
the
legacy
Of
a
land
that’
s
overflowing
with
opportunity
Let
the
transparency
be
our
banner,
let
the
truth
be
our
design
I’
m
keeping
every
promise,
I
am
walking
on
the
line (
Melodic,
warm
slide
guitar
solo)
So
join
me
at
the
table,
let
your
voices
rise
up
tall
We’
re
writing
out
a
story,
one
that
echoes
for
us
all
From
the
coffee
farms
to
markets,
in
the
heat
of
every
day
We’
re
clearing
out
the
weeds
so
that
the
flowers
have
their
way
I’
m
a
servant
to
the
vision,
I’
m
a
neighbor
to
your
soul
Making
sure
that
Meru
county
finally
reaches
for
the
goal
For
the
love
of
all
our
people,
for
the
growth
we’
re
gonna
find
I’
m
standing
for
the
honest
path,
I’
m
leaving
doubt
behind
No
shadow
of
the
greedy,
no
closed
and
bolted
door
I’
m
building
up
our
Meru
County,
stronger
than
before
Development
is
calling,
we’
re
answering
the
light
Together
we
are
moving,
and
we’
re
doing
it
just
right
Yeah,
we’
re
moving
forward
For
our
Meru
Building
it
together
Steady
and
true (
