Plateau Tears

Plateau, Plateau, na tears we dey cry

Plateau, Plateau, why our people dey die?

E don start from morning, e don start from night

Innocent blood dey pour like rain, no end in sight

Mothers dey lose their pikins, fathers dey lose their rest

Plateau State bleeding hard, na the saddest test

Wetin we do to deserve this kind pain?

Every day na another funeral, another refrain

Babies wey never see tomorrow, elders wey see too much

Wahala don overflow, e don pass our touch

We dey bury our brothers and sisters with sorrow deep

Why God, why this burden for Plateau we gotta keep?

Plateau, Plateau, gida namu ta dameta

Zan masu-damewa don kaice mu biyu da uku

Ammuma da ubangiji, sai ka tuba mana

Kasua namu ta dameta, Plateau, Plateau

Neighbors turn to strangers, strangers turn to fear

Trust don break for Plateau, everybody dey hear

Killinas dey spread like sickness, no cure for the pain

Children asking "why papa? Why mama no come again?"

We wan peace, we need healing, we need unity strong

Plateau don suffer too long, too long, too long

But we no go break, we no go bend

We go rise again, this na not the end

Say your prayers, say your prayers for the fallen souls

Plateau State, na God go heal your deepest holes

Plateau, Plateau, gida namu ta dameta

Zan masu-damewa don kaice mu biyu da uku

Ammuma da ubangiji, sai ka tuba mana

Kasua namu ta dameta, Plateau, Plateau

Rest well, rest well, all the fallen ones

Plateau remembers you, until kingdom come

Plateau, Plateau... na tears we dey cry
