Let Her Learn

מילים

[Verse 1] At dawn you fold your school dress Beside the doorway, quiet as a prayer They say the choice has already been made While your unfinished books wait on the chair A borrowed smile for all the guests A thousand thoughts you cannot share But somewhere past the hills and morning mist Your own tomorrow’s waiting there [Pre-Chorus] You are more than what they planned More than promises made by other hands Let your voice rise, let it be heard Your life belongs to you, your word [Chorus] Let her learn, let her choose Let her be the one to say yes or refuse Give her time, give her room Let her dreams have a chance to bloom Sierra Leone, hear every daughter sing A girl is not a bargain, not a ring When love is free, it can take root Let her grow before she has to choose [Verse 2] By the river, auntie tells her story How she once had plans tucked in a page Now she holds the door a little wider So the next girl gets to turn the page Teachers save a seat beside the window Neighbors ask what she wants to become Small acts can make a road through silence Till the whole village hears someone [Pre-Chorus] She is more than what they planned More than promises made by other hands Let her voice rise, let it be heard Her life belongs to her, her word [Chorus] Let her learn, let her choose Let her be the one to say yes or refuse Give her time, give her room Let her dreams have a chance to bloom Sierra Leone, hear every daughter sing A girl is not a bargain, not a ring When love is free, it can take root Let her grow before she has to choose [Bridge] No child should carry a grown-up vow No dream should have to disappear Stand beside her, speak with care Make a safer future everywhere [Final Chorus] Let her learn, let her choose Let her be the one to say yes or refuse Give her time, give her room Let her dreams have a chance to bloom Sierra Leone, hear every daughter sing Her hopes are worth protecting When love is free, it can take root Let her grow, let her choose [Outro] Let her learn Let her choose Give her time Give her room
