Jah Rasta Farai, hear me now!
A great leader rises!
Born in the South where the sweet rivers flow,
To Bo School chosen, excellence's glow.
From Salone shores to the Soviet land,
Mastered the science, grasped command.
UK sharpened his vision bright,
Knowledge and wisdom as his guiding light.
Across the borders, his footsteps stride,
With brilliance and purpose as his guide!
Honorable Julius Daniel Mattai!
A true African soldier with the pen!
Building the nation with a steady hand,
Shining a beacon across the land!
Transforming the minerals, changing the game,
From the South to the world, we sing his name!
Mama Sierra Leone says, well done, well done!
A Pan-African son, the fight's begun!
Built his own firm, the best in the zone,
Geodesy, geology, master of stone.
Called to lead the NMA,
Sweeping the darkness, ushering the day!
Stood for the people, stood for the soil,
Ensuring the riches reward those who toil!
Maximizing revenue, protecting what's right,
Mining communities shine in the light!

Forward ever, backward never!
Peace, love, and justice for Salone!
