Yeah,
the
sun
is
rising
over
Meru
today
There
is
work
to
do,
and
a
new
way
to
lead
Listen
close
now
I
walk
these
dusty
roads
where
the
red
earth
meets
the
sky
I
see
the
hope
in
every
face,
I
see
the
light
in
every
eye
From
the
slopes
of
the
mountain
down
to
the
valley
floor
I
am
knocking
at
the
future,
standing
at
your
door
I
see
the
tea
leaves
growing,
I
see
the
coffee
bloom
It
is
time
to
clear
the
shadows,
it
is
time
to
clear
the
gloom
I’
ve
got
love
for
every
neighbor,
love
for
every
child
And
I
promise
you
my
focus,
steady,
true
and
mild
For
Meru,
for
the
people,
I
am
taking
up
the
call
Development
is
coming,
standing
proud
and
standing
tall
No
corruption
in
the
shadows,
no
secrets
in
the
dark
I
am
here
to
build
a
future,
I
am
here
to
leave
a
mark
Yes,
for
Meru,
for
the
people,
we
are
rising
with
the
sun
Building
up
our
county
until
the
work
is
done
I
hate
the
way
the
pockets
fill
while
the
hungry
wait
in
line
I’
m
here
to
flip
the
script
and
make
sure
everything
is
fine
It
is
about
the
hospitals,
the
schools,
the
open
road
Sharing
every
burden,
helping
share
the
heavy
load
I
am
not
here
for
the
power,
I
am
not
here
for
the
fame
I
am
here
to
serve
the
people,
and
I’
m
ready
for
the
game
With
honesty
as
my
armor
and
the
truth
upon
my
tongue
This
is
the
song
of
progress
that
we
have
only
just
begun
For
Meru,
for
the
people,
I
am
taking
up
the
call
Development
is
coming,
standing
proud
and
standing
tall
No
corruption
in
the
shadows,
no
secrets
in
the
dark
I
am
here
to
build
a
future,
I
am
here
to
leave
a
mark
Yes,
for
Meru,
for
the
people,
we
are
rising
with
the
sun
Building
up
our
county
until
the
work
is
done
It
takes
a
hand
to
reach
out,
it
takes
a
heart
to
care
It
takes
a
vision
clearly
felt
in
the
morning
air
We
are
shifting
the
foundation,
we
are
turning
over
stones
We
are
building
up
a
legacy
right
down
to
the
bones
So
let’
s
walk
together,
side
by
side,
steady
and
slow
Watching
all
the
seeds
of
our
hard
work
begin
to
grow
From
the
village
to
the
center,
I
am
listening
to
you
Everything
I
promise,
you
know
that
it
is
true
For
the
farmers
and
the
youth,
for
the
elders
in
the
shade
This
is
the
promise
of
the
future
that
we
have
finally
made
For
Meru,
for
the
people,
I
am
taking
up
the
call
Development
is
coming,
standing
proud
and
standing
tall
No
corruption
in
the
shadows,
no
secrets
in
the
dark
I
am
here
to
build
a
future,
I
am
here
to
leave
a
mark
Yes,
for
Meru,
for
the
people,
we
are
rising
with
the
sun
Building
up
our
county
until
the
work
is
done
Yeah,
for
Meru
We’
re
moving
forward
now
No
corruption,
just
the
light
Steady
hands,
steady
hearts
Meru,
we’
re
rising (
