Facing Mount Kenya

Tom Morello

[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
