The future is us
it's in the gifts we carry
it's in the hope we raise
it's in the rest we crave
The future is us
it runs deep in us
it resides in chambers
of our minds
it sits on the threshold
of our hearts
it runs in the fibre
of our being with a rush
unstoppable from within
The future is clear
the future is bright
the future is near
the future is here
it is the realisation of the dream
that keeps us up till three
the future is us

Like vapour lost in the air
So are words
Impossible to hold
Unable to be retrieved
They are the devils that hunt us in our dream
The bulldozers that bring down walls of our heart
They are the offspring of our anger
The children of our joy
The angels that fuels our creativity
The demons that exault our disability
A right word at the right time is like rain in times drought
A right word at the wrong time is like gold without worth
Word is life word death
Word is peace word is war
Word is hope word is despair
It is the invincible line between life and death
Word is a spirit

They said you'll never rise again from the ashes of your burnt glory
They said you will probably be broken into pieces by the beast that detest your peace
You
You that was once the pride of africa
You that withstood all the stumbling blocks ****** in your path by your adversaries
With your hands you fed millions
Opened wide your doors and took them in when nobody could
Took your guns to battle in the war that wasn't your's
Your blood stained their field
Your body littered their streets
Toiling night and day you did
all in the name of solidarity

I rejoice in your past
Though I frown at your presence
Your future might be a mystery
But will surely be devoid of misery
They said you'll never rise again
I say you are on your way up
They said your future is wrapped in darkness
I say their's light at the end of every tunnel
Your good old day's might have come and gone
Your glory days are on the way
Dwell no more in the confines of yesterday
Rid your self of the catalysts that has enveloped you in the shame of today
Brace up!
Rally round your troop
And set your gaze upon the glory of tomorrow
Naija
Forever my land

Eko on the move
Never pressed for stool
The darling of the nation
Elegant in motion
Like the beauty of an icing sugar on a cake
She adds beauty to the state
Like a tireless ox ploughing the fields
she harbours the burden of all it feeds
Not to her dismay
But to the glory that sets her high above the rest

Eko on the move
Never pressed for stool
The heart of the cart
Cautious in act
Like a skillful hunter she treads gently in the midst of hostile beasts
With the heart of a generous host she rubs her guest of their cold feet
She's the platform upon which our dynamism is exhibited
She's the destination that tickles our imagination
She's the land upon which all dreams could grow into reality
Fearless in the face of adversity
Eko on the move
Never pressed for stool
The avant garde of greatness
The custodian of success

Samson fell by delilah
Ahab fell by jazebel
Adam fell by eve
King David fell by batsheba
I've become a slave to my emotion
An enemy to my intuition
My heart is torn apart
Over the war between my emotion and my sense of reasoning
My head holds back
But my heart push fort
Like an addict in need of a dope
I long for her presence
Like a fish pulled out of the water
I'm crushed at her absence
She's the definition of beauty
The personification of courtesy
Gentle in heart
Radical in mind
She's a goddess in the midst of mortals
She's my beautiful distraction

Like a roller coaster you take me up and down the slopes of life
And I still wanna get high
Though your kisses sometimes stings
I don't care I still wanna sing
They say you won't amount to anything for me
I say they don't know me
They say our friendship won't last
I gave them the history of our past
Of how you came into my life and gave me a life
Of how you gave my low self esteem a death blow
Of how you leap out of my thong and I'm filled with joy
Of how in you I delight in the worship of my lord and saviour
With you I'm known
With you I know
With you I'm respected
With I'm expected

Like a strong liquor
you fill me to a stupor
Tearing down all walls of terror
Silencing all thongs of rancour
Your presence modify my slim frame
Your essence brightens up my sad face
Shielding me through the arrows of rejection
Moulding my walls against dejection
Failure has no place in my vocabulary because of you
Misery runs away from me because of you
The umbilical chord that binds us together by God is as strong as the impenetrable wall of china
And my love for you is as unphatomable as earth itself which stands aloof without a string holding on to it

Like a beautiful damsel you toy with my heart and that of other admirers
You shatter my heart into pieces like no other girl would ever dare
You make me cry you make me smile
You make me burst out in laughter at your funny jokes
But I know you'll make me proud to be by your side one day
Taking me to the peak you promised the first day I said hi
Placing me before kings and people of worth in places so high
How dare they think I'll ever leave you or you abandon me
We are bounded together for eternity you and I
And nothing can separate us
For you are my blood you are my flesh
You are my bone you are my skin
In every fibre of my being have you enveloped your immortality
You don't need to follow me
You are in me
My music
My life
