Song of Democracy

Democracy In Nigeria It’s been ages you passed into deep slumber Or rather you were long dead, democracy You have striven to rise but fall many times Your limbs were over-powered by some political demons You have been crushed in the dust by some powerful beasts The people with green skinned body, white spirit and green soul Are eager to see you come alive again and take your full course Take control to the fullness you place in their leadership They know the time has come and now is the hour They cry, they sing, they shout, they talk, they pray, they hope and believe Equally important, they are ready to work, support, and vote To see the emergence of a new democratic Nigeria The reality, evidential rebirth of democracy in a new Nigeria (c) 2010
