Singing after Dark

Christiana Adwoa Adomako-Ansah

For Comfort

Sing, Liberia
Sing to me
Open your lips
And let beautiful rhythms flow

Forget your shame
Forget your pain
A new day has come
And everything has changed

Yesterday when the blood flowed
Like a great river
You wept like all was lost
Like the stench shall stay forever

But today is a new day
And the blood has ran dry
Your tears must stop
And smile, please try...

The harp is ready
And the people are here
To hear your lovely voice
They cannot wait, they care

So sing, Liberia
Please sing to us
Open your lips
And let beautiful rhythms flow...
