Long Live Nigeria

We have toiled for long
Our forefathers have trend the path
And made their mark
And the rest is history

We have had our share of sorrows
We have had our share of victories
Battles we won, battles we lost
But amidst all these

All we see ahead is our bright future
Although our dreams may be over shadowed by
the wars we are still battling within
Our hopes may be limping by indecisions

Our stability may be wavering
But we aren't giving up!
And definitely, we aren't bowing out!
Truly, Nigeria has had her own share of war

We aren't retreating!
And we surely aren't going to surrender!
And with every painful but purposeful step
We are claiming our position back
as the giant of Africa!

Nigeria is beautiful
and her people, her glory
Maybe slowly, but definitely, God will heal our land
     GOD BLESS NIGERIA
     GOD BLESS AFRICA
     GOD BLESS THE WORLD.
