Yeah,

Listen
to
the
story
of
a
man
From
the
dust
to
the
crown
Sandi
Pokawa
Mr.
Wise
Born
in
the
heat
of
May,
twenty-fourth
day,
nineteen
eighty-nine
In
the
village
of
Baama
Konta,
the
sun
began
to
shine
Young
heart
beating,
looking
toward
the
light
of
day
Walking
the
paths
of
Kenema,
learning
how
to
pray
I
walked
the
halls
of
Government
Secondary
School
Searching
for
the
wisdom,
trying
to
break
the
rule
But
the
shadow
came
early,
the
heavy
hand
of
fate
I
lost
my
father
young,
left
me
standing
at
the
gate
Oh,
the
road
was
rugged,
the
road
was
long
and
steep
With
the
weight
of
the
world,
and
promises
to
keep
But
I
am
a
winner,
rising
through
the
rain
Turning
all
the
sorrow,
turning
all
the
pain
I
am
Sandi
Pokawa,
they
call
me
Mr.
Wise
I
see
the
victory
reflected
in
my
eyes
Life
was
a
struggle,
man,
the
nights
were
cold
and
dark
Trying
to
find
a
fire
just
to
catch
a
little
spark
They
counted
me
out,
said
I
wouldn't
stand
a
chance
But
I
kept
on
moving,
locked
inside
the
dance
I
build
the
bridges
where
the
rivers
used
to
flow
From
the
empty
pockets
to
the
greatness
that
I
show
Now
I
stand
as
CEO,
Wise
Entertainment
is
the
name
Burning
like
a
beacon,
I’
m
the
keeper
of
the
flame
Oh,
the
road
was
rugged,
the
road
was
long
and
steep
With
the
weight
of
the
world,
and
promises
to
keep
But
I
am
a
winner,
rising
through
the
rain
Turning
all
the
sorrow,
turning
all
the
pain
I
am
Sandi
Pokawa,
they
call
me
Mr.
Wise
I
see
the
victory
reflected
in
my
eyes
We
Yone
Water,
pouring
out
the
life
we
give
Global
Image
Film,
showing
how
we
live
From
a
village
boy
to
a
king
upon
the
throne
I
reap
the
harvest
of
the
seeds
that
I
have
sown
Yes,
the
victory
is
sweet,
but
the
cost
was
high
Looking
up
to
heaven,
underneath
the
sky
I
remember
the
hunger,
I
remember
the
fear
But
now
I
wipe
away
the
last
lingering
tear
Success
is
a
journey,
not
just
a
place
to
land
I’
m
holding
my
destiny
inside
of
my
own
hand
Keep
your
head
lifted,
no
matter
what
they
say
Even
in
the
winter,
you
can
find
a
brighter
day
Sandi
Pokawa,
rising
from
the
stone
Building
up
an
empire
that
I
call
my
own
Oh,
the
road
was
rugged,
the
road
was
long
and
steep
With
the
weight
of
the
world,
and
promises
to
keep
But
I
am
a
winner,
rising
through
the
rain
Turning
all
the
sorrow,
turning
all
the
pain
I
am
Sandi
Pokawa,
they
call
me
Mr.
Wise
I
see
the
victory
reflected
in
my
eyes
Yeah,
we
made
it
Through
the
storm
and
the
fire
Baama
Konta
to
the
top
Blessings
to
the
journey
Rest
in
peace,
Pa
Solo
Rest

peace,
