ENGLISH

This is the time
We must come together
Forgive ourselves
Learn from our mistakes
Let us get up and move forward now
Backward never with peace and unity
Let us come and build our country Sierra Leone
Sweet sweet Sierra Leone

Solo

Sierra Leone people
This is the time we must embrace ourselves
Let us not look back
Let us look forward for a better tomorrow
Forgive your brother what he has done to you
Let us not return evil for evil
It makes things go bad

Let us not seek revenge
And make things go round and round
Sierra Leone people we are please begging you
You whose hands were cut off
Please accept our sympathy
Those of us who lost properties
Please, we are begging you

This is the time we must turn to our father God
Oh Yes
Sierra Leone people we are begging you
This is the time we must come together

Raps:

Sierra Leone people, let us love ourselves
Sierra Leone people, let us unite
This is the time we must embrace ourselves
Lasting peace in this country
Sweet sweet Sierra Leone.
