Oh,
the
people
are
waiting
The
hope
of
the
land
High
Chief
Dr.
Ifeanyi
Chukwuma
Ezinwa
Odii
The
weight
of
the
crown
is
resting
on
your
shoulder
Oke

Ebonyi
ji
eme

We
look
to
the
horizon
with
a
quiet
heavy
heart
Searching
for
the
leader
who
understands
the
pain
Nwa
anayo
Eze,
the
call
is
echoing
deep
Through
the
streets
of
our
home,
the
silence
speaks
loud
We
are
ready,

are
waiting
for
the
dawn
High
Chief
Odii,
you
are
the
people's
choice

long
and
the
sun
is
setting
low
We
are
rejoicing
for
the

that
you
hold
Yes,
the

singing
for
you
today
Oh,
Ifeanyi
Odii,
lead
us
to
the
promise
land
We
see
the
vision
even
before
the
race
is
won
It
is
written
in
the
hearts
of
the
ones
who
believe
PDP
is
the
party,
the
path
we
have
chosen
Even
in
the
stillness,
your
name
is
the
chant
No
one
else
can
carry
the
burden
of
the
state
Like
the
son
of
the
soil
who
feels
what
we
feel
Nna,
the
time
is
approaching,
we
hold
on
to
faith
Waiting

the
day
you

Chai,
the

is
never
easy
for
the
brave
But

your
wisdom
is
the
light
Omo,

are
standing
firm
for
you
Through
the
valleys
and
the
hills
of
our
pride
We
await
the
morning
star
to
rise
When
you
take
the
seat,
remember
the
ones
who
prayed
Remember
the
struggle,
the
dust,
and
the
heat
Ebonyi
is
yours,
the
crown
is
yours
alone
We
are
the
witnesses
to
the
history

write

us,
with
a
steady
hand

waited
so
long
to
see
