Facing Mount Kenya

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Black for the skin, green for the land Red for the blood, steady freedom's hand Alone with the wind, I am only one man Facing Mount Kenya [Chorus] Facing Mount Kenya, holding time Facing Mount Kenya Facing Mount Kenya, holding time Facing Mount Kenya [Verse 2] Brace for the day, sing for the past Listen to the memory in the stone and grass Who make the wind? I'm only one man Facing Mount Kenya [Chorus] Facing Mount Kenya, holding time Facing Mount Kenya Facing Mount Kenya, holding time Facing Mount Kenya Facing Mount Kenya, holding time Facing Mount Kenya Facing Mount Kenya, holding time Facing Mount Kenya, it's time [Bridge] On the big plantation, in the ghetto and slum In the president's palace, in the Mau Mau drum Wind gon' howl, I'm only one man Wind gon' howl, I'm only one man Wind gon' howl, I'm only one man Facing Mount Kenya [Chorus] Facing Mount Kenya, holding time Facing Mount Kenya Facing Mount Kenya, holding time Facing Mount Kenya Facing Mount Kenya, holding time Facing Mount Kenya Facing Mount Kenya, holding time Facing Mount Kenya, it's time [Outro] Facing Mount Kenya, holding time Facing Mount Kenya, it's time
