Till date, we lived in fear;
Of pains we had to bear.
Our skin was stained in jeer;
With no clothes for us to wear: ..
Our girls, they raped and cursed;
Their wounds, we licked and nursed;
We cried for what they caused;
To work, our hands were forced: ..
One day, we rose to fight;
We fought for day and night;
We strived to face our plight;
And now, we won our fright: ..
Let man and bird sing;
Like bell our hearts ring;
Rejoice and don't cringe;
The joy that freedom bring: ..
HAPPY INDEPENDENT NIGERIA! ! !
