One Nigeria, My Country

One Nigeria, my country I want to talk about the diversity Do you know about her beauty? Please don't make it filthy Let's take up an activity And show how much we love the country Nigeria no disaster Oh God listen to our prayer Please take this country higher And make it *much* better People think we are *in* danger Not knowing we are truly wiser Oh God take us higher And answer our prayers People say we complain Not knowing we are plain Then back in the rain We worked with pain On the hand the chain When they used whip to cane Feels like we may go insane Oh God stop the pain Now am dreaming again Seeing Nigeria rewarded with gain Nigerians don't abandon your culture To make us greater in the future Our heritage Nigeria to nuture Through the fire we can still come forth pure Victories of our great past still in our brain And we cannot forget the pain When the whips caused the sprain May our prayers not be in vain Though I cannot explain Why Nigerians are still in pain And when can we see the gain Of all they have done becoming vain Everyday cry and pain With crime and sprain Nigeria show what you got And don't leave a dot.
