Eldoret

Don’t burn this building down
Don’t burn this building down
Don’t burn this building down
There are children inside
This has the trappings of another genocide

This side has gone to war
This side has gone to war, too
This side has gone to war
Tell me, how many people died?
This has the trappings of another genocide

This valley blazing red
This valley blazing red
This valley blazing red
Tell me, how many mommas cried?
This has the trappings of another genocide

Don’t burn this building down
Don’t burn this building down
Don’t burn this building down
There are children inside
This has the trappings of another genocide
