We are Nigerians, we are Africans

We are born with a warriors pride

We are the greatest black nation in the world

Blessed and willed in the spirit of our ancestors

We are forged with a heart that doesn't withered but love

We are resilience and can withstand the adversity of the world

Diverse in mother tongues but oneness in spirit

The rain water our lands, the sun blessed our harvest

Wield in our mothers glory and destined to change the world

Our cultures and traditions we wear in our hearts with joy

There is a virtue and bond that runs in a Nigerian heart

Nigerian daughters are beautiful and cuddled by the hands of the gods

The Nigerian sky is filled with pastures cultivated by our forefathers

Underneath dwells different tribes which runs through the river banks

And tribes by the hills and mountains overflowing the northern boundaries

We are Nigerians, sons and daughters of a divine God

I am proud to be a Nigerian

Locked unconsciously deep down the heart

Is a smile unwary of the beauty of life

Hidden underneath the cloud

Concealed from the sight of the eye

A heart lost, deprived, forsaken and stolen

Stolen from the oppressed and poor

Unknown to the perception of mankind

Unveiled to an unkind and cruel world

Lies the tears of an unspoken voice

The silence and suffering of a neglected child
