We Are In It Together

Let’s sit like comrades Let’s talk like one As we watch each other’s back. Let’s put our ideas to the know So that we can make this nation grow For we are in it together. Let’s live the spirit of Unison Lest our tribes and culture divides us Let’s bury the hatred of yesterday So that we can have a happy today. Let us scurry towards good And share of what food This nation has in store. Let’s embrace the words of greatness And help our progeny find their path, Let’s break down these callous walls That have been a threat to our success. Men and Women; Young and Old Let’s build a better country Devoid of corruption and crime Our country needs us To be just and upright, To build and not to destroy For its gains and not for its pains. Let our feet thread this earth Of a country in a moment of rebirth. Let the youths embrace this gift Of success from renewed struggles And of loyalty towards fatherland. Let them keep the hopes alive That they truly are The great leaders of our tomorrow. Let’s obey the laws of the land And let’s give rights to those due And if this nation should wobble Or clamour in times of trouble Let us all be concerned as patriots, That we are in it together. © Ayinla, Muyideen Adeleke
