Description
When you’re in a boys-only boarding school in Eldoret, Kenya, food isn’t just survival—it’s a dream. We lived on porridge and githeri. Meat was a once-a-week miracle. But on one unforgettable Saturday, a wild wish, a cat, and a panicked chicken gave us a feast we’d never forget. This is a true story of hunger, laughter, and divine timing.
Lyrics
[Verse 1] Woke up to porridge, thick like glue Dinner? Githeri, same old stew But our stomachs dreamed of meat Every Friday, that was the treat [Verse 2] Then came Saturday with a twist Yard work call, we couldn’t resist Principal’s wife, strict but kind And chickens fat enough to blow your mind [Chorus] One chicken, one miracle Barbed wire and fate so lyrical We prayed, we joked, then it came true That bird flew straight into barbecue One chicken, one miracle Hungry boys in a boarding school The universe heard, the cat obeyed Best meal we ever ate! [Verse 3] Friend said, "Hope that bird gets stuck" Then the cat showed up—pure luck! Feathers flew, it ran too fast Straight to the fence… that was its last [Chorus] One chicken, one miracle Barbed wire and fate so lyrical We prayed, we joked, then it came true That bird flew straight into barbecue One chicken, one miracle Hungry boys in a boarding school The universe heard, the cat obeyed Best meal we ever ate! [Bridge] We marched with meat on our plates Laughin' at destiny and school gate fates A Biology teacher cooked with pride That day, we all felt glorified [Outro – soft harmony] We still tell the tale to this day How the chicken gave itself away Hungry hearts and a fence-bound bird The strangest prayer you ever heard
