Why are you doing this to yourself ?
But you are not a slave
You are a free born before now


Yes I know
For long you have been free born
Why this now ?

But she was not a slave
Was she born into slavery ?
Nay she wasn't

But why did she allow to be silenced ?
Like a marble with no life in it
And calm like a dead sea

Ah ! You have been silenced like a grave
They have made your land a desert
A pit hill of the aliens

There you stand
Having your gifts lies in ruin
Hmm,cry and rise for your restoration

Those of spoilt background and greedy mind
Have cracked her skull
And drained her out of life and strength

Day after day
They take away her breadth
Through their shady decisions

Now is the time
I mean the right time
To fight your cause

Wait a minute !
What is your name ?
Answer me

I am Nigeria
A country at Niger side
The giant of Africa

Did I hear you say GIANT ?
Giant don't freak
Common act like one

I am a lion
The precious gift of Africa
In me inbeded lots of natural resources

Then wake up
Act  it
And prove it

That you are indeed
The giant of Africa
That should be seen and heard.
