SIERRA LEONE KNOWS!

When dark shadows of war fell
And cries of anguish rang like bells
Streets stained, the skies of Sierra Leone torn
The hope of this nation was lost and gone.

Through those dark clouds, a light arose
A force for peace, worries deposed
ECOMOG came with a mission crystal as clear
To drive away the reign of fear.

Through jungle paths and smelly streets
They battled on, defying defeat
With every step and with every stand
They stitched together a broken land

This is the power of unity, you see—  
An African brother lifting another free.  
One finger alone can't lift a stone;  
It takes a union to build a home.
