My Motherland

Behold Nigeria my motherland

A land that sits upon the hills of many waters

A country built on the ancient landmark of heroes band

An Eagle that protects her citizens in the arms of her feathers.

 

A beautiful Nigeria whose fields are as green as green could ever be

An Iroko that stands on the root of peace and unity

A fertile land that is as fertile as fertility can ever be

A united people, a proud nation void of segregation nor discrimination in her city.

 

My motherland a land that upholds the staff of dignity and natural endowment

A land of unity and peace glowing like a river of gold across the horizon

A nation that feeds on the diet of heavens supplement

An ocean that runs through the test of raging storms un-torn.

 

My motherland! My motherland!

A Nigeria that adores her women more highly than the Queen of England

An Olive that yields more than the cedars of Lebanon

A land whose daughters are as beautiful as the daughters of Job in Jerusalem's land

An independent country as powerful as the King Nebuchadnezar of Babylon.

 

It's Nigeria my motherland

A land that rests on the pillars of her freedom

A country seated on the pearls and treasures of many Ireland

A Nigeria that lives on the soil of heavens wisdom.
