Baskadia

By Simeon Austin David Pangu

Election time has come again

Youth of Sierra Leone, let's refrain

From tribal and partisan sentiment

Let's put our country first, let's be content

The ballot box is where we cast our vote

A peaceful election is what we'll promote

No violence, no anger, no fear

Let's embrace democracy and make it clear

We are one nation, we are one people

Let's rise above hate and let love be the fuel

That drives us forward, that drives us ahead

Let's make a better Sierra Leone, let's not be led

By those who seek to divide us and stir up strife

We are better than that, we have a brighter life

Ahead of us, if we choose to unite

And embrace the power of our collective might

So let's wise up, youth of Sierra Leone

Let's put aside our differences and be shown

That together we can achieve so much more

Peaceful elections, a brighter future, that's what we're in store

For if we stand together, we can make a change

A peaceful election, a brighter tomorrow, that's what we'll arrange.
