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.
