Oh Lord Repair Nigeria

Oh lord repair mother Nigeria Let Nigeria be Nigeria again Let Nigeria be Nigeria, a home Let her be great again in our eyes Take away violence which we see Take away kidnapping which eat deep Take away corruption which we fight Let there be peace in my fatherland! Restore every good things demaged Resurrect our government that is dead Like a broken bucket I saw her shattered Tears streaming and flowing like a river Bruises on her face and body burning Her pains and sorrow, you and I know Repair my Nigeria, our Nigeria, your land Oh Lord, repair mother Nigeria to greatness I pray, we creed, they agreed and we sing She had tasted enough blood and shame Her eyes, our eyes, their eyes, my eyes Searches of tomorrow in fear and helplessness Repair mother Nigeria, repair our home we pray. Let there be light as was in the past Let there be smiles as was our understanding Let there be kind coated leaders like our laughter Oh lord repair Nigeria, my Nigeria, our Nigeria Make her breast full again with succulent milk The breeze of her lips a songful song of hope We have no other home than this place We have no other milk to drink than hers Let Nigeria be Nigeria again we pray to you.
