In the heart of a nation, a voice did rise,
From the depths of struggle, he aimed for the skies,
A beacon of hope in the darkest of nights,
Raila, our leader, ignited the lights.

With courage unyielding, he faced the disdain,
A warrior for justice, he bore every pain.
He walked with the weary, uplifted the meek,
In the halls of power, he dared to speak.

Through trials and tribulations, he stood ever tall,
Championing freedom, he answered the call.
In the fight for our rights, he bravely engaged,
A reformer, a dreamer, whose vision was staged.

From the fiery debates to the grassroots he tread,
Building bridges of peace where once there was dread.
His heart for the people, his drive for the land,
A leader for all, with a compassionate hand.

Africa’s son, with a conscience so vast,
He envisioned a future, breaking the past.
For the marginalized voices, he lent his own,
In the quest for democracy, his seeds were sown.

Across borders and oceans, his wisdom did soar,
A statesman of dignity, opening doors.
In every success and each noble quest,
Raila showed us the power of hope manifest.

So here we gather with tears in our eyes,
To honor a legacy that never truly dies.
In every heart beating, in every brave fight,
Raila, our hero, you brought forth the light.

As we bid farewell to a life so devoted,
Know that your dreams will never be, corroded.
We carry your spirit, our guiding star bright,
Thank you, Raila Odinga, for teaching us might.

Rest now, dear leader, in the embrace of the land,
Your vision, your passion, forever will stand.
Though your voice is now silenced, your echo remains,
In the hearts of a nation that honors your name.
