MANY DAYS I HAVE BEEN ON MY KNEEL

Many days I have been on my kneel

Praying to God to Help Change how I feel

About our Country Nigeria and what our leaders keep putting us through

Man has missed so much in life, yet they take him for a fool

I have never taught a man can lose his birth right

We keep telling ourselves that things are going to be fine

Every day we pretend that we are going to be alright

Believing in our leaders that they will someday make things right

Helplessly I have watched our world been turned around

Innocent soul shading tears, Dreams all lost, have we all sinned

Life was so pretty growing up as a kid

Had so much good memories, had help whenever one is in need

I still remember the looks in my eyes

I was so anxious to grow, wanted to make sure I live all my dreams

We could feel love all around us, there was no reasons to fight

I don’t remember if anyone back then were poor

Though what we had wasn’t much, but it was enough to make a man smile

You can call a friend a brother and a stranger a friend

Life wasn’t suicidal, I recall how I used to walk back home late with ease

But you can’t try that now without look over your shoulder

Many day I have been on my kneel

I keep praying for our leaders, maybe someday they will wake up

From the lost of money, power and selfishness that has blinded them so long

We must stop lighting candles and depending on generator

We all deserve a light while walking in the dark

We’ve all got to have a will to keeping fighting back

Especially the pain of living in a country without jobs

How can they expect a man feed his families if he doesn’t have a job?

I thought our leader have been reading the Bible

Or are they telling us they have just one choice?

To gamble with our life, our resources, our health and wealth

Our birth right and everything else be believed inside

How long are we going to keep putting this felling aside?

It’s tearing us down; it’s time we do something about this

Get this burden off our heart once and for all

Everybody know we have been hurt deep inside

They got to stop trading our feelings the way they want

If there is no star in our cloud, we can always create one

Today we’ve got to put an end to this betrayal and fight back

Everyman deserve a good life, Because it is our fundamental right
