Cambodia

Meshack Bwoyele Keya 1960 (Vihiga)

The air be filled with prayers
Pray, pray, pray
For Cambodia your prayers fly
Fly, fly, fly
We are all a people in need
Need, need need
And so we need each other.

Cambodia you have passed through hell
Hell, hell hell
Your children have suffered in silence
Suffered, suffered, suffered
Now recovery is in progress
Progress, progress, progress
And so we need each other

If Cambodia do recover
And peace in the world prevail
If together we come in love
Then we rise up in prayer
If we care for each other
And have a world United
Then we will care for each other.

By Meshack Bwoyele Keya
