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.
