Sierra Leone Lyrics

The hour was late I was alone
Full moon a rising on Sierra Leone
Water is precious diamonds are stones
Trouble is brewing in Sierra Leone

Colonialism cut like a knife
The search for resources the struggle for life
And now we are reaping the seeds that were sown
One more bitter harvest for Sierra Leone

The hour was late I was alone
One star was rising on Sierra Leone
Water is precious diamonds are stones
Trouble is brewing in Sierra Leone

The people want freedom an end to the war
Murder and mayhem what is it for
It's the oldest of stories that's ever been told
They're fighting for diamonds and dying for gold

The hour was late and I was alone
Cease fire's been broken in Sierra Leone
A party is missing their fate is unknown
There's danger up country in Sierra Leone

But if I was a prophet for the quick and the dead
The curses of Moses I'd bring down on their heads
Cry to the heavens until we stood alone
With the beasts and the children of Sierra Leone

The hour was late and I was alone
The cease fire's been broken in Sierra Leone
A party is missing their fate is unknown
Children are dying in Sierra Leone

The hour was late and I was alone
The cease fire's been broken in Sierra Leone
A party is missing their fate is unknown
Children are dying in Sierra Leone

Sierra Leone
Sierra Leone
Sierra Leone
Sierra Leone
Sierra Leone
Sierra Leone
Sierra Leone
Sierra Leone
Sierra Leone
