Greetings
to
the
heart
of
Mende
land
To
the
sacred
banks
of
the
Baiwor
River
Baiwalla,
the
great
capital
of
Dea
Chiefdom,
hear
the
sweet
sound
play
Rise
up,
Dea
Chiefdom!
Rise
up
the
Dea
Descendants
Association,
DDU
Down
in
the
heart
of
Kailahun
District
Where
the
coffee
and
cacao
trees
greet
the
afternoon
sun
Flows
the
cool
water
of
the
Baiwor
stream
A
land
of
peace,
a
land
of
where
the
roots
run
deep
The
ancestors
whispering
in
the
morning
breeze
Calling
the
children
home
from
across
the
seas
We
stand
together,
brothers
and
sisters
bold
In
the
spirit
of
our
fathers,
stories
yet
to
be
told
Rise
up,
Baiwalla,
let
your
light
shine
bright
From
the
Dea
Chiefdom,
we
take
our
flight
With
the
DDU,
we’
re
building
for
the
day
Guided
by
the
water
of
the
Baiwor
bay
Oh,
feel
the
rhythm,
let
it
heal
your
soul
Working
together
to
reach
the
highest
goal
Rise
up,
rise
up,
let
the
voices
ring
Of
the
beautiful
land
that
makes
our
spirits
sing
We
see
the
progress
blooming
on
the
hills
Overcoming
trials
and
the
daily
chills
With
strength
in
our
hearts
and
love
in
our
hand
We
cultivate
the
greatness
of
this
fertile
land
Every
seed
we
plant
is
a
promise
kept
For
the
memories
of
the
tears
our
mothers
wept
But
today
is
a
new
dawn,
a
brighter
flame
Baiwalla,
we
are
proud
to
call
your
name
Rise
up,
Baiwalla,
let
your
light
shine
bright
From
the
Dea
Chiefdom,
we
take
our
flight
With
the
DDU,
we’
re

for
the

Guided
by

bay
Oh,
feel
the

let
it
heal
your
soul
Working
together
to
reach
the
highest
goal
Rise
up,
rise
up,
let
the
voices
ring
Of
the
beautiful
land
that
makes
our
spirits
sing (
Brass
section
swells)
Unity
is
the
key
that
opens
every
door
We
don't
need
to
fear
the
shadows
anymore
From
the
youth
to
the
elders,
standing
side
by
side
In
the
glory
of
our
heritage,
we
take
such
pride
Yes,
we
rise,
yes,
we
rise
With
the
vision
clear
in
our
eyes
Rise
up,
Baiwalla,
let
your
light
shine
bright
From
the
Dea
Chiefdom,
we
take
our
flight
With
the
DDU,
we’

Oh,

Baiwalla,

Dea
Chiefdom,

climbing
With
the
DDU,
we
are

Under
the
golden
sun,

fades) (
Brass
melody
lingers)
Peace,
love,
and
unity
Always...
