From Kisumu s quiet outskirtsA
Baba rose the fearless frontierB
Son of Oginga OdingaC
Rooted deep in Luo sapsD
-
He rose in the sun s cold winterE
Stooped beneath the noon s wheelF
Rolling the reel of ruthless menG
Iron blades clashingC
Yet another forged anewH
-
No man stands alone anywhereI
The sun falls only to rise againG
So too the son of the soilJ
His justice blunt yet grandeur steelF
Carving paths through veils of timeK
-
He bore storms upon his shouldersL
Lifted voices silenced by fearB
Planted hope where doubt had grownM
And walked with courage in every stepN
-
In streets lined with whispers of fearB
He spoke with fire and fire listenedO
In halls of power and corridors of doubtP
He bore the weight of generations dreamsQ
-
Baba the father of the fearlessR
The mother of hope unbrokenS
A bridge over rivers of despairI
A hand that raised the fallenS
-
From Kisumu s warm embraceT
To Nairobi s restless heartU
His spirit strode with steady graceT
Turning every trial into lightV
-
The blades of justice tempered in lifeW
Cut paths through the veils of timeK
Blunt yet grandeur steelF
Echoing in every hopeful heartU
-
He rose against tides of shadowX
He sang for the silencedY
He marched with the nationS
And carried the dreams of many sonsZ
-
Baba s eyes saw both the storm and the sunS
His voice a drumbeat of the peopleA2
His hands the architects of changeB2
His heart a fortress of courageC2
-
From Kisumu s quiet streetsD2
To the mountains where the wind bendsE2
His legacy flows like riversL
Strong unyielding eternalA2
-
No chains could bind himF2
No fear could silence himF2
No shadow could darken himF2
For the son of the soil rises stillG2
-
Baba marches in memoryH2
Baba walks in every voiceI2
Baba lives where hope is sownM
Baba rises where justice bloomsJ2
-
In every tear shed for freedomK2
In every hand lifted for changeB2
In every heart that dares to dreamL2
Raila Amolo Odinga livesM2
-
The sun falls only to rise againG
And so does the spirit of BabaN2
Forever burning never fadingC
A fire that the ages cannot tameO2
