AWAKEN OH NIGERIA

TO A BATTERY OF FRESH IDEAS
A SYNAGOGUE OF TRUCE
AN ALTAR OF ONENESS
TO THEE I CALL, ‘AWAKEN’.

BE NOT ASLEEP
TO THE INSOMNIA OF YOU’REYOUR RIVALS
GATHER UP MATERIALS
AND LET YOUR MINDS THINK
YOUR VOICES SPEAK
YOUR HANDS CREATE
DO NOT DELAY
FOR TO THEE I CALL, ‘AWAKEN’

UNIQUE AND MEEK
GREEN AND WHITE WE CHOSE AT LAST
THE FINAL PHASE OF THE BATTLE
EXCITED AND UNITED
LET US TOGETHER
EAT SWEET LAUGHTER

PRESERVED WITHOUT VOUCHER
ENERGIZED WITHOUT CHARGER
AN IMPACT MAKER
A SOLUTION CARRIER
A RECORD BREAKER
A PACE SETTER
THE WONDER OF MANY NATIONS
AN AMAZEMENT FILLED WITHPOTENTIALS
OUR VALIDITY IS ETERNAL

WE ROCK
WE BLOCK
WE RULE
WE DISCIPLINE
WE ARE AFRICANS!
