Nairobi Market
Verse 1
Morning breaks with the drummer’s call
Rhythms dance on the market wall
Voices rise as the day begins
Life is moving on joyful winds
Verse 2
Kangas glow in a shining row
Weavers smile as the colors flow
Spices lift in the warming air
Crowds move steady from everywhere
Chorus
Nairobi drums, they call the name
Hear the beat in every frame
Colors rise where people roam
Nairobi’s heart will feel like home
Repeat Chorus
Nairobi drums, they call the name
Hear the beat in every frame
Colors rise where people roam
Nairobi’s heart will feel like home
Verse 3
Buses push through the crowded lanes
Engines hum like the tribal plains
Footsteps blend in a steady roll
All together, one city soul
Verse 4
Merchants gather with crafted art
Voices echo in every part
Song and laughter around the square
Pull the sunset into the air
Pull the sunset into the air
Pull the sunset into the air
Chorus
Nairobi drums, they call the name
Hear the beat in every frame
Colors rise where people roam
Nairobi’s heart will feel like home
Nairobi drums, they call the name
Hear the beat in every frame
Colors rise where people roam
Nairobi’s heart will feel like home
[Bridge]
Under moonlight drums grow strong,
Pulling every heart along.
Stories circle through the night,
Guided by the firelight.
Chorus
Nairobi drums, they call the name
Hear the beat in every frame
Colors rise where people roam
Nairobi’s heart will feel like home
Nairobi drums, they call the name
Hear the beat in every frame
Colors rise where people roam
Nairobi’s heart will feel like home
Outro
Drums fade slow in the silver air,
Night winds carry a gentle prayer.
Nairobi—bold in every tone,
Your heartbeat leads the traveler home.
