Don't judge us by the Smiling faces
And conclude we are happy.
Don't use as examples just a few cases
And say it's reality.
...
To those who sit and dark places,
To plot the downfall of the just.
To those who gather with hidden faces,
To cause nothing to the righteous but a fall.
...
Crushed by the weight of the evil ones' greed,
Nigeria shall be free!
Sinking deeper and deeper in the abyss of misdeeds,
Nigeria shall be free!
...
Life is full of disappointment; life is full of pain,
Life is full of challenges that would threaten our faith,
But no matter how many times we are left in life’s cold,
If we look well, no door is ever really closed.
...
Chained tongues, imprisoned minds,
People who have lived their lives their humanity trying to find,
People who would rather give up than stand up and fight,
People who have lived too long in darkness they can’t see the light.
...
As the clock strikes twelve,
Yet another completed book is added to life's shelf.
First will come the greetings and well-wishes,
And then will come thoughts of happy times and painful memories;
...
To that which may never be,
To happiness we may never feel,
To an unbreakable togetherness the world may never see;
This isn't me saying goodbye;
...
Weep not for me o African,
For thy tears in nought will flow.
Weep rather for the future of your children,
Whose tears may never cease to flow.
...
Blood, tears, severed limbs and legs.
Murder has been done.
Not on the streets, not in the slums,
But in the place we call Sacred.
...
I will consume; Oh yes, I will
I will ravage; don’t doubt me I plead
I see blood even though the world can’t see.
I see death when life is what your preachers preach.
