A TRIBUTE TO FIDEL ODINGA
SHOW US HOW TO MOURN, OH LORD
Show us how to mourn our son
Oh Lord
A commandment five child
After you heart and ours
But for whom you’ve altered
The reward for his honour
Show us how to mourn our brother
Oh Lord
Born to us for adversity
Yet a friend at all times
Who did to the least of us
That he may do it to you
Show us how to mourn our friend
Oh Lord
Our people became his people
And his home became our home
Who gave us the “Greater Loveâ€
That he may find yours too
Show us how to mourn our comrade
Oh Lord
Of neither race nor tribe
Ideology or creed
Who took no identity
But of the country he belonged
Show us how to mourn Fidel
Oh Lord…
