Yeah,
the
sun
is
rising
over
the
hills
A
new
day
for
the
people
For
every
man,
woman,
and
child
Let’
s
walk
this
path
together
I
see
the
dust
rising
on
the
valley
floor
I
hear
the
heartbeat
knocking
at
the
door
From
the
green
tea
slopes
to
the
plains
out
wide
I’
m
standing
here
with
nothing
left
to
hide
I’
ve
walked
these
roads
since
I
was
just
a
child
Through
the
stormy
rain
and
the
winter
wild
I
love
the
people
and
the
life
we
lead
And
I’
m
planting
all
the
rows
of
a
better
seed
Oh,
Meru
is
calling
for
a
brand
new
light
We’
re
turning
the
page
and
we’
re
doing
it
right
With
honest
hands
and
a
heart
that
stays
true
I’
m
running
for
the
Governor
seat
for
you
No
room
for
shadows
where
the
greed
has
grown
We’
re
building
a
kingdom
that
we
call
our
own
Development
rising,
strong
and
free
A
brighter
future
for
you
and
me
I’
ve
seen
the
schools
that
are
crying
for
repair
I’
ve
seen
the
roads
that
go
nowhere
in
the
air
They
say
the
silver
flows
into
the
wrong
man’
s
hand
While
the
honest
worker
struggles
on
the
land
But
I
say
enough
to
the
silence
and
the
shame
We’
re
gonna
wash
it
off
and
we’
re
cleaning
the
frame
Every
cent
counts
when
you’
re
building
a
home
And
together
as
one,
we’
ll
no
longer
roam
Oh,
Meru
is
calling
for
a
brand
new
light
We’
re
turning
the
page
and
we’
re
doing
it
right
With
honest
hands
and
a
heart
that
stays
true
I’
m
running
for
the
Governor
seat
for
you
No
room
for
shadows
where
the
greed
has
grown
We’
re
building
a
kingdom
that
we
call
our
own
Development
rising,
strong
and
free
A
brighter
future
for
you
and
me
Corruption
ends
at
the
edge
of
the
line
We’
re
taking
back
what
is
yours
and
is
mine
Infrastructure,
water,
and
jobs
for
the
youth
We’
re
grounding
our
promise
in
the
bedrock
of
truth (
Uplifting,
melodic
acoustic
and
fiddle
interplay)
So
hold
your
head
high
as
the
morning
breaks
It’
s
time
to
move
past
all
the
old
mistakes
I’
m
listening
close
to
the
words
that
you
say
We’
re
paving
the
path
for
a
better
way
From
the
town
center
to
the
furthest
farm
We’
re
keeping
our
county
safe
from
the
harm
My
door
is
open,
my
resolve
is
set
This
is
a
promise
you
won't
forget
Oh,
Meru
is
calling
for
a
brand
new
light
We’
re
turning
the
page
and
we’
re
doing
it
right
With
honest
hands
and
a
heart
that
stays
true
I’
m
running
for
the
Governor
seat
for
you
No
room
for
shadows
where
the
greed
has
grown
We’
re
building
a
kingdom
that
we
call
our
own
Development
rising,
strong
and
free
A
brighter
future
for
you
and
me
Yeah,
a
brighter
future
for
you
and
me
Meru,
let’
s
rise
Stronger
together
In
faith,
in
work,
in
love (
