We Are One - Nigeria Remix

We Are One (Nigeria Remix) Ever seen an eagle feeding like a vulture? Dignity trampled on, where corruption is a culture? Darkness threatens her future, cause of her shapeless structure it’s saddening 'cause she’s been richly blessed by Mother Nature Disunity like a knife tryna cut her apart Of the National cake the lower class don’t get a part There’s a saying you will reap whatever that you plant There’s fruit of hatred ripening deep in our hearts Blame it on the Government and the sycophants right Most citizens do not get a fair role of the dice Economic recessions led to skyrocketing price Job rate inverse proportional to the rate of crime What’s the way forward for a nation without steady lights Mourning like every night Late fluorescents with candle lights Our eagles been flying lowly, yet it’s a scary flight A thousand tonnes of honor and glory, heavy right But you'll see everyday That we'll never turn away When it seems all your dreams come undone We will stand by your side Filled with hope and filled with pride We are more than we are We are one Though different color or eyes skin hair and different faces Different cultures, tribes, religions and languages Different dreams and believes Different gifts we received From the creator, our souls embedded into nature We are one Flesh and blood, living under the sun A species divinely created in the likeness of God (we are) Precious like diamonds and pearls (we) Put in charge of the universe In freedom, peace and unity and the winds of love We are bound Though divided by rivers, streams and boarders lines carved in time, by civilization and secession into nations we may divide but only one God watches over us like the sun in the sky If chords unite our land, lets create a unity band No such thing as a perfect world, but we could make it better The grass been turning brown, you and I and can make it greener God disguised as fate, made us Nigerians for a plan Our nation will be great, if we unite we will stand ...everyday That we'll never turn away When it seems all your dreams come undone We will stand by your side Filled with hope and filled with pride We are more than we are We are one
