Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] From the valley to the shoreline Dust on my jeans Chapati in my hands Matatu colors in the sunrise Laughing kids chasing through the sand [Chorus] My Kenya My heartbeat My home From the red earth up to the snow Every road Every story I know My Kenya Wherever I go I carry your name in my soul My Kenya My heartbeat My home [Verse 2] Mum’s old radio in the kitchen Tea on the stove Stories in her eyes Grandpa praying by the fig tree Blessing every dream that I would try [Chorus] My Kenya My heartbeat My home From the red earth up to the snow Every road Every story I know My Kenya Wherever I go I carry your name in my soul My Kenya My heartbeat My home [Bridge] When I’m far And the nights feel long I hear your voice in a distant song (oh yeah) Calling me back with the morning light Saying “Child You’ll be alright” [Chorus] My Kenya My heartbeat My home From the red earth up to the snow Every road Every story I know My Kenya Wherever I go I carry your name in my soul My Kenya My heartbeat My home

Afro-pop ballad with warm acoustic guitar, subtle Kenyan percussive grooves, and shimmering highlife-style electric lines; verses stay intimate and close-mic, chorus lifts with stacked harmonies and bright shakers, gentle bass keeps it dancing yet tender; mid-song breakdown for call-and-response hook, male or female vocals soaring but grounded and heartfelt
