1.Change
This song is a call to action, a wake-up call for each and everyone of us to start making the necessary changes because time as we know it is running out.  Change can only come from within each of us.  If we each alter our thoughts, attitudes and habits;  if even half of us aspired towards happiness instead of fear, passion instead of security, hope instead of despair, the world would change - instantly. 

2.Warriors
This is a warning from the oppressed to their oppressors, that though they may appear defeated they are not; nor are they helpless, blind, ignorant or afraid.  It's a warning from the grandchildren of  Martin Luther King, Ghandi, Bob Marley, Fela Kuti and all the greats who've shown us that there is a different way.  And we are not part of the army of destruction and madness; we belong to family of light and consciousness and our weapons are love and education, not guns, germs and propaganda

3. Merry-go-Round
Each and every one of us is currently trapped in some meaningless cycle be it physical, emotional or psychological.  There are patterns in our lives; physical habits, thought patterns or emotional cycles, that have entrapped us in a life of perpetual return where we keep going back to the exact same experience over and over again. This songs calls for all of us to get off our own individual merry-go-round and expand our minds beyond our limited life and limited understanding of what life is really about because of always recycling the same thoughts, ideas, and emotions. 

4. Keep Moving On
This song tells the story of the unfortunate yet typical experience of a black person's struggle to exist in a white man's world.  Many black people around the world have tried very hard to assimilate themselves into the white man's society but the majority are never truly accepted.  The song encourages black people to 'keep moving on' no matter how tough life is because there is something beautiful awaiting each of us on the other side of this mountain.  The only thing standing in our way is this mountain of racism, segregation, hatred, fear, animosity, antagonism, despair and desperation.

5. I'm In Love
The only love song on the album, this lullaby is for our soul mates who may not be with us at this time either because of work, or war or other commitments that have taken them far away.  It lets them know that regardless of where in the world they are, we love them and miss them with the same passion as the day they left us. 

6. Kazi ya Mungu (God's Work)
No matter what path you decide to take in your life be it in your choice of religion, career choice and social choices, its always important to make an informed decision having examined from a neutral perspective, all the options available to you.  This is a story of my personal journey back to the God of Zion after studying the various scriptures of the world and consulting with the elders of my tribe, my grand ma, my mother, and my peers.

 7. Jerusalem
For the last thousand Years the Black Nation has been trying to liberate itself from the claws of Darkness.  And all this times we've tried, our efforts have been thwarted.  But now the Golden Age has come and nothing can stop the idea of freedom. No Force, No Army - Be Strong!!  And like the migrating birds we're gonna spread our wings and fly; out of the darkness of misunderstanding, and into the light of truth about who we are and where we really came from.

8. Zion is my Destiny
This song is an international anthem for all the children of zion scattered around the world.  The great return has begun.  In the last decade millions of Africans have returned to the motherland and the numbers are increasing every year.  In fact, everyday there are Africans across the continent, returning home for good.  The time to return is now, Africa is not the Africa we left behind, the African mind has expanded, transformed and this change of attitude and expectation will completely transform us and our homeland. 

9. Sing Praise
Every night before we go to sleep we should get on bended Knee and pray, thanking God for delivering us through another day.  So sing praise to God and remember what he has done for us.  Know his light shines on all of us and his guidance protect us

10. Love Vibration
Floetry at its best, the mix of song and poetry.  This song is a fictitious narration of a typical working girl after a busy day at work.

11. Take me Away
Every other woman you meet has been physically, emotionally or sexually abused at some point in their lives.  Worse still, every 30 minutes a woman in Kenya is a victim of some form of gender violence.  Such statistics are the reason I share this story of my own struggle to escape from an abusive man's hands.  This was the hardest song for me to sing and once I finished it I cried all the way home... home being 3 hours away from where I was recording.   
I hope in sharing my story a woman out there will be touched and make that extremely difficult but important and life-saving decision to walk away.  Keep telling yourself what you know.  YOU DESERVE BETTER! 

12. Free
The last song on the album, this song is really a reflection of where I am right now and how arrived at this point because it really was not easy.  It speaks of my struggle with emotions such as fear, misery and discouragement. 
But the one thing I have realized on this journey is that the positive things we do today will make bear fruit and make tomorrow a better day.
