We come from a common land
Spread with beauty and prodigy
We stand up tall and Strong
Waking to the rising of the Sun above
...
Man unkind
Killing his kind
Stabbing from behind
What u seek u shall find
...
NIGERIA!
Lying across the Niger
Your breast, divided by Rivers
United though cultures diverse
...
I don't bend,
It's NOT the end
I just break in two
Yes! I did it for you
...
Thou pain
I will cry u in this rain
On my face, the tears won't stain
Nothing from my languish will you gain
...
Hoist the mast
Time is past
Racing fast
Shadows are cast
...
Exquisite laxity
Forbid my departure
Protest my valediction
Don't let me journey off
...
What are you thinking?
Now you are sinking!
Now you are drunken
Now your are sunken
...
Sparrow of the finch
Take d letter of my heart in song abroad
Fly thro thorns and roses, narrow and broad
...
A cry of another LIFE
The joy of another CHILD
The dream of another LAD
The ambition of another YOUTH
...
