[Intro]
Planes touch down, harbor lights glow
KANU STAR homebound, ready to glow
[Verse 1]
KANU STAR steps off the plane, drums hum in the air
Red dust on my shoes, but my heart's breathing there
Mothers sing from the veranda, silver bracelets ring
Home in Sierra Leone, where my roots find their spring
[Pre-Chorus]
Back to the hills where the river runs fast and free
Whispers of home saying stay, stay here with me
[Chorus]
Home is where the drums call my name
Where proud hands welcome me back again
Delta and sea sing in the same refrain
KANU STAR, forever home in Sierra Leone
[Verse 2]
Old friends at the market trading stories for tea
Children dancing to the beat of a mango tree
I carry the anthem of the land in every breath
From the coast to the hills, I wear my home like a crest
[Pre-Chorus]
From Freetown's sunrise to the farthest village glow
Together we rise, wherever winds may blow
[Chorus]
Home is where the drums call my name
Where proud hands welcome me back again
Delta and sea sing in the same refrain
KANU STAR, forever home in Sierra Leone
[Bridge]
From the heart of the land to the stars above
Let this homecoming be a bridge of love
[Chorus]
Home is where the drums call my name
Where proud hands welcome me back again
Delta and sea sing in the same refrain
KANU STAR, forever home in Sierra Leone
[Outro]
Home sweet Sierra Leone, until the next sunrise
