[Intro]
Yeah, we rise from the ashes, hear the echoes of our pain,
Sierra Leone, can you feel the strain?
[Verse 1]
Born in the rubble, where hope is just a whisper,
Diamonds gleam, but the weight is a drifter.
Children with dreams, but hunger's got a grip,
Mothers cry at night, each tear a sinking ship.
War-torn stories, credibility pearled,
We bleed in silence, overlooked by the world.
Natural beauty can’t cover our scars,
In the land of the brave, we’re reaching for stars.
[Pre-Chorus]
But we’re resilient, we stand tall through the storm,
With the spirit of our ancestors, we’ll redefine our form.
[Chorus]
Sierra Leone, hear our cry, we won't drown in despair,
Together we’ll rise, break these chains, every burden we’ll share.
From the ashes we’ll build, strong and free,
Sierra Leone, the future’s in our hands, can’t you see?
[Verse 2]
Fist raised up, we’re taking back our power,
Voices in unison, let us rise like a tower.
Education’s our weapon, knowledge is the key,
No more shadows of violence, just unity.
Markets full of dreams, entrepreneurs set to shine,
Turning pain into purpose, it’s our time to climb.
[Pre-Chorus]
With every step we take, history we rewrite,
The future’s a canvas, we paint it so bright.
[Chorus]
Sierra Leone, hear our cry, we won't drown in despair,
Together we’ll rise, break these chains, every burden we’ll share.
From the ashes we’ll build, strong and free,
Sierra Leone, the future’s in our hands, can’t you see?
[Bridge]
Hand in hand, we’ll face the fight,
Reviving our culture, bring our spirits to light.
Each voice a part of the symphony we sing,
Sierra Leone rising, hope’s blossoming spring.
[Outro]
So listen, world, we’re reclaiming our grace,
Sierra Leone, a promise we’ll embrace.
No more struggles, just strides to be made,
Together we’ll flourish, love won’t fade.
(Yeah, Sierra Leone, rise up)
