Lyrics
Sierra Leone our motherland.
The green white and blue,this is the time for us to understand
For the future of our children, let’s end the flame.
Mende, Timni, Limba, and Krio, hand in hand,
See the bigger picture, united we stand.
Chorus:
Oh Sierra Leone, let's rise above the fray,
For the love of our country, let peace light the way.
Mende, Timni, Limba, and Krio, hand in hand,
It's time to see the bigger picture, united we stand.
Verse 2:
To our leaders of faith, who preach in peace and light,
Guide us through the darkness, show us wrong from right.
To the civil societies, voices strong and clear,
Spread the word of unity, let the people hear.
Chorus:
Oh Sierra Leone, let's rise above the fray,
For the love of our country, let peace light the way.
Mende, Timni, Limba, and Krio, hand in hand,
It's time to see the bigger picture, united we stand.
Bridge:
From Koidu to Makeni, Kenema to Kailahun,
Let the youths of our nation see the rising sun.
No more fighting brothers, no more shed of blood,
Let the rivers of Salone flow with hope and love.
Verse 3:
APC, SLPP, we are one and the same,
For the future of our children, let’s douse the flame.
Think of Mama Salone, her beauty and her grace,
In unity and harmony, let's find our rightful place.
Chorus:
Oh Sierra Leone, let's rise above the fray,
For the love of our country, let peace light the way.
Mende, Timni, Limba, and Krio, hand in hand,
It's time to see the bigger picture, united we stand.
Outro:
Together we can build a land so free,
Where peace and love are our legacy.
Sierra Leone, oh land of the free,
In unity and peace, we find our destiny.
