The cloud gleaming, billow like Irian Jaya
So colourful like the striking folk arts of the Philippines
Nigeria, so strong like a ceremonial sword
But with uncompleted tasks and unfulfilled dreams
These were the things that brought you confusion
You are more than just a toenail, whiskers and elbows
Way down deep inside, these things pull you together
Wake up Nigeria!

Togetherness
Whether going upriver
We shall wake you
The side of eternity
Where our blackness enjoys freedom
And our songs are dying on our lips
The lonely miracle of redemption
Wake up Nigeria!

Oh Nigeria, Oh my country
Greenish
So colourful..
But something keep holding you back
Corruption has polluted your ears...
Wake up Nigeria
