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
