Lyrics
Description
(Intro - Traditional percussion blending with Afrobeat groove)
Hear the kora strum, the balafon hum, under Freetown's rising sun,
Echoes of the past weave through the air, stories buried deep, stories rare.
(Verse 1)
In the shadow of Lion Mount, where the mangrove roots twist and shout,
A fisherman's tale, seldom told, of nets torn and spirits bold.
He sings of tides that hide the pain, of diamonds lost in the rain,
But hope like the sun on the Atlantic gleams, in the heart of Sierra Leone's dreams.
(Pre-Chorus)
Feel the pulse of the talking drum, rhythms clash and then become
A dance of history, a fight and flight, under the veil of tropical night.
(Chorus)
Diamonds in the dust, shining through the scars,
Voices of the unheard, written in the stars.
From Bunce Island's ghost to the market's song,
Sierra Leone, where the brave belong.
(Verse 2)
A mother's lullaby, in Mende tongue, whispers strength for the young,
Through war's shadow and peace's light, she holds her children tight.
The congo drums beat a steady call, resilience rising after the fall,
In every hand, a story spun, beneath the Sierra Leone sun.
(Bridge - Instrumental with kora, congo drums, and balafon intertwining with Afrobeat synths)
(Verse 3)
The diamond mines gleam with stories untold, of dreams bought and sold,
But in the villages, the fireflies dance, igniting hearts with a second chance.
The youth rise with voices loud, breaking free from the crowd,
Their melody a river wide, carrying Sierra Leone's pride.
(Pre-Chorus)
Let the balafon sing with the city's beat, where tradition and future meet,
A tapestry woven strong and new, painted in every hue.
(Chorus)
Diamonds in the dust, shining through the scars,
Voices of the unheard, written in the stars.
From Bunce Island's ghost to the market's song,
Sierra Leone, where the brave belong.
(Outro)
So dance with the drums till the morning light, bathed in moonbeam white,
This is more than a song, it’s a soul’s flight, Sierra Leone, forever bright.
