[male vocals] October 1
st.
The
day
we
got
our
flag.
The
day
we
sang
freedom.
But
freedom
without
justice…
na
just
word.
This
song
na
for
the
masses.
For
the
streets.
For
the
future
we
still
believe
in.
We
remember 1960,
the
green-white-green
began
to
fly
Our
fathers
fought
for
independence,
we
had
fire
in
our
eye
But
the
road
is
getting
weary
and
the
promise
is
getting
thin
From
the
city
to
the
village,
we
dey
struggle
from
within
Corruption
for
the
table,
hunger
for
the
street
But
the
spirit
of
the
Naija
man,
e
no
fit
accept
defeat
No
be
so
we
plan
am,
no
be
so
the
vision
go
We
dey
wait
for
better
season,
let
the
healing
water
flow
Arise,
Naija,
raise
your
head
up
to
the
sky
Green-white-green
still
standing,
even
when
we
asking
why
Though
the
night
is
heavy,
keep
the
lantern
burning
bright
We
go
build
a
better
nation,
we
go
walk
into
the
light
Arise,
Naija,
omo,
keep
the
fire
burning
on
From
the
darkness
of
the
valley,
we
go
see
the
breaking
dawn
Look
at
the
youth
dey
hustle,
trying
hard
to
make
a
way
But
the
leaders
play
their
games
and
we
dey
pay
for
it
each
day
No
electricity,
the
generator
hum
is
all
we
hear
But
we
get
resilience
in
our
blood
to
overcome
the
fear
We
no
be
second-class,
we
get
talent,
we
get
soul
We
go
take
back
our
future,
we
go
take
back
the
control
No
more
silence,
no
more
running
from
the
truth
It’
s
time
to
give
the
power
back
to
the
heart
of
the
youth
One
nation,
one
struggle,
standing
firm
on
the
ground
When
we
move
together,
can
you
hear
the
winning
sound?
Arise,
Naija,
raise
your
head
up
to
the
sky
Green-white-green
still
standing,
even
when
we
asking
why
Though
the
night
is
heavy,
keep
the
lantern
burning
bright
We
go
build
a
better
nation,
we
go
walk
into
the
light
Arise,
Naija,
omo,
keep
the
fire
burning
on
From
the
darkness
of
the
valley,
we
go
see
the
breaking
dawn
See
gobe,
but
we
steady,
no
dulling
Green-white-green,
we
still
calling
Arise,
Naija,
for
the
future
We
go
survive,
we
go
thrive,
on
God!
