Bring Back Our Wealth

bring back our wealth
we are rich in resources
in my country Nigeria 
yet we live in zero 
they say we are the giant
of Africa 
yet we live in a deep clear 
shadows of poverty 

bring back our wealth
who can say the truth to God 
with out the voice of the people 
for all the out come of corruption's
fall back to us 
all the pains of rooting and jeting 
our income out from our nations
 falls on our shoulders 
so we are tired 
as we pledge not in fear 
bring back our wealth

bring back our wealth
is so clear  how things
go nowadays
 all we earn is invisible
we only hear them 
but we never see them 
either do we enjoy 
the wealth of our natural
blessings from God 
is a shame that our 
blessings is turn sow
we need to enjoy our rights
we need our wealth back
