Awaken Nigeria
Awaken Giant of Africa!
Awaken oh Nigerians!
To a battery of fresh ideas
A synagogue of truce
An altar of oneness
To thee, I call, ‘awaken’.
Be not asleep
To the insomnia of your rivals
Gather up materials
And let your minds think
Your voices speak
Your hands create
Do not delay
For to thee, I call, ‘awaken’
Unique and meek
Green and white we chose at last
The final phase of the battle
Excited and united
Let us together
Eat sweet laughter
Preserved without voucher
Energized without charger
An impact maker
A solution carrier
A record breaker
A pacesetter
The wonder of many nations
Amazement filled with potential
Our validity is eternal
We rock
They Mocked
We Blocked
They Crawled
We rule
With proof
Full of discipline
It's true
For we are,
Yes! We are Nigerians!
