Our resilience
Shone through in the Hut tax war
Defeating oppression
Our valance
Came out conquering our conqueror
Resistance
is the current streaming in our Rivers
Our tribes
enchanted by ancestral mystical powers
Our courage
Came through a deadly civil war
Our stamina
Steered peace back onshore
Diverse tribes
One purpose
One plan
That inscribes our love
All over our song
we compose
as brothers.
Diverse cultures
One clan
Watched over from above
By our founding fathers.
One passion
United in our determination to strengthen,
rebuild our nation
Kinsmen
who are better understood
Talking Together.
Walking beside each other
Shoulder to shoulder
as Sierra Leone once stood
Solid, Steadfast and strong in 1961
Heads held high with Milton Margai
When our independence was born
