The Arathi, a term meaning "prophets", are a Christian religious movement founded in 1926 in Kenya. Along with the African Orthodox Church, Arathi was founded by the Agikuyu in the wake of Kenya's civil unrest during the 1920. Joseph Ng'ang'a and Musa Thuo are among the sect's most notable prophets.
Arathi was outlawed in 1934, when colonial officials prohibited Arathi meetings.
Baptism has remained a central part of the Arathi tradition since its founding, and is still practiced today. It is viewed as a symbol of the beginning of a new life, and followers receive a new name after their baptism.
Don't be afraid to feel this way
Gonna make you understand
It's not about you, cause I am the fool
Building castles in the sand
If I am crazy, just don't care
It doesn't mean I don't want you near,
This is the story about me and you
And it's called...
Faith!
Right beside you is where I'll stay
Oh Faith !
Just take me as I am... so please... have faith!
So many times and so many ways
I didn't know just where to go,
You gave me a sign and opened my eyes
That's the reason why I know
That you are different, you're still here
I guess you figured me out right then
Now I believe that we can make it through
And that's called...
Faith!
Right beside you is where I'll stay
Oh Faith!
Just take me as I am... so please... have faith ! have faith !
So don't be afraid... to feel this way...
Just hear me out!
Stay...
...and that's called...
Faith!
Right beside you is where I'll stay
It's not too late
Just take me as I am... so please... have faith... In me!
Oh yeah!
Just take me as I am... so please... have faith!
