Evil sees no compassion
She's a thief in the night
Her family, friends
And rations
All lost in the fight
They use the money
To wage a war
Who's right; who's wrong
Let's even the score
When will love stand on it's own
Peace has no home tonight
Another page from the poem
When will we see the light
I will not hold back my prayers
Where there is life, there's hope
I know that you're not alone
Sierra Leone
The politicians cried
My best friend's dead
The colors in her
Stone have
All turned red
Vested interests and your
Money makin' schemes
Why do you break our hearts, then
Try to shatter our dreams, well...
When will love stand on it's own
Peace has no home tonight
Another page from the poem
When will we see the light
I will not hold back my prayers
Where there is life, there's hope
I know that you're not alone
Sierra Leone
No freedom in Freetown
The bird has flown
The amputees live on
With shacks for homes
They bomb our cities
And they rape our poor
What will it take to open
Freedom's Door?
When will love stand on it's own
Peace has no home tonight
Another page from the poem
When will we see the light
I will not hold back my prayers
Where there is life, there's hope
I know that you're not alone
Sierra Leone
When will love stand on it's own
Peace has no home tonight
Another page from the poem
When will we see the light
I will not hold back my prayers
Where there is life, there's hope
I know that you're not alone
Sierra Leone
