Lyrics
Description
(intro chant)
tiri muhondo tiri muhondo nasatan
dust on our shoes, neon city lights behind us,
mama's prayer at sunrise steadies the mind of us.
broken shutters, radio hums an old lullaby,
children laugh on the corner while the night birds fly.
we count our scars like medals, fingerprints of the road,
steel-breathed buses rumble—this is how hope is sowed.
every step a drumbeat, every breath a steady drum,
we move like rivers, under a burning, golden sun.
hear the low hymn rising, hands raised to the sky,
we name the shadow coming, we don't let it pass by.
tiri muhondo, we rise (we rise)
nasatan, you can't hide (can't hide)
hands up, hearts tied — we survive.
smoke from street-side kitchens, scent of fried maize and wood,
shop signs flicker, lovers whisper, saying keep the good.
bootprints on the pavement, flags stitched by careful hands,
a grandmother lights a candle, blessing all our plans.
we cross the river barefoot, feet learning every stone,
you taught us how to carry the weight and make it home.
the city keeps its secrets but our chorus keeps the truth,
morning draws a skyline and the future of our youth.
tiri muhondo, we rise (we rise)
nasatan, we will try (we try)
now we stand; tomorrow we build — we survive.
when the night grows heavy and the streetlamps bow low,
we plant a tree where the gunshot fell—watch the green grow.
i swear by the names whispered at the kitchen flame,
we will stake our claim in the song, we will sing our names.
this is not just a promise—it's a lantern, it's a vow:
from the dust of yesterday, a thousand new roofs now.
tiri muhondo, we rise (we rise)
nasatan, you can't hide (can't hide)
hands up, hearts tied — we revive.
tiri muhondo, tiri muhondo — feel the pulse, feel the drum,
echoes of our ancestors walking with us, one by one.
tiri muhondo tiri muhondo nasatan
we are the fighters, we are the light — we rise, we come.
