🎶 “Peace Above All – Sierra Leone Arise” 🇸🇱
(Verse 1)
From the hills to the ocean wide,
Voices rise, we stand with pride,
Different tribes but one embrace,
United hearts, one shining face.
We’ve seen the pain, we know the cost,
Too many dreams and lives once lost,
But now we rise, rebuild, restore,
A nation healed forevermore.
(Pre-Chorus)
No more hate, no more fear,
Let the voice of peace be clear,
Hand in hand, we stand as one,
A brighter future has begun.
(Chorus)
Peace above all, let it reign,
Wash away the hurt and pain,
Sierra Leone, we stand tall,
Together we rise — peace above all.
From every party, every call,
Unity will never fall,
Side by side, we heed the call,
For love and peace above all.
(Verse 2)
From the lessons of the past we learn,
Through the truth, the fire still burns,
Justice speaks, reconciliation,
Building hope across the nation.
Voices young and leaders strong,
Righting every former wrong,
Institutions standing firm,
Peace is now the path we affirm.
(Pre-Chorus)
Let forgiveness lead the way,
For a better, brighter day,
No division, no disguise,
Truth and unity shall rise.
(Chorus)
Peace above all, let it reign,
Wash away the hurt and pain,
Sierra Leone, we stand tall,
Together we rise — peace above all.
From every party, every call,
Unity will never fall,
Side by side, we heed the call,
For love and peace above all.
(Bridge – SAY-AVIM-SL Non-Violence Message)
We are the youth, we take our stand,
No violence shall rule our land,
SAY-AVIM voices loud and clear:
“Choose peace, reject fear.”
No to hatred, no to fight,
We defend what’s just and right,
With one voice we proudly say:
“Non-violence is the only way.”
From schools to streets, our message flows,
Planting peace wherever we go,
Together we rise, together we say:
“Violence must end today!”
(Spoken/Chant Section)
According to the TRC, we stand for truth,
Rebuilding hearts, empowering youth,
Ambassador Alhaji, Ambassador Sinneh call,
“Let Sierra Leone choose peace above all!”
(Final Chorus – Powerful & Uplifting)
Peace above all, hear the cry,
Let our flag fly proud and high,
One nation strong, we will not fall,
Sierra Leone — peace above all! 🇸🇱
(Outro)
Peace in our words, peace in our deeds,
A united nation is all that we need.
SAY-AVIM stands, bold and strong,
In peace we rise, where we belong.
