God sleeps
In Sierra Leone
That country is bleeding,
It is like a dark cloud
Is over them
And its raining misery
Everywhere.
People are dying like flies
As if life
Has no value,
Those left behind
Are living in fear,
Fear of wondering
Who's next in line
For death
Is out for blood
The ghosts of terror
Are haunting my people.
God sleeps
In Sierra Leone
Prayers of my fellow
Africans go in Vain.
God sleeps
In Sierra Leone
Pray for my African
Brothers
Pray for the lives
Of the people
Of Sierra Lione,
Pray for the bleeding
To stop
And for the wound
To heal,
God sleeps
In Sierra Leone
Pray for Sierra Leone,
Pray for the black man,
If a prayer
Is going Going to help.
Pray for Sierra Leone
Let the tears
Wash the pain
And misery.
