NIGERIA - FROM DESPAIR TO HOPE


I walked along and then I saw
A pasture so green it blew my mind
A people so strong I checked myself
Where is this place, I asked my escort
"Nigeria, the land of wealth" he said
"A land filled with so much gold
Where oil flows unend like a river
And the owners beg the stealers a share of oil

A new Nigeria i really foresee
Above and beyond she surely shall be
The common people soon will have a say
In the way their nation is run
That fertile land you see
Will be utilised to make ends meet
Those strong people you see
Will be tired of playing by the rules
Of their 'supposed' leaders' games

Nigeria, oh Nigeria
Shine thine light and scare the dark
Rise above and far beyond
Give thine Children a little bit more hope
Be the dream and live the dream
Prepare the land for a flood soon shall come
To wash away all negativity and negativists
The rain soon shall fall
To water your already dried soil
And the sun soon shall arise
To lighten up your beautiful world"
