Grateful heart oh

For our people

From the chains we rise up strong

Our ancestors carry we along

Through the storm and darkest night

African spirit burning bright

They try to break us down

But we wear the victory crown

Black excellence na our way

We dey shine every single day

Grateful heart, grateful soul

For the story that we told

From the pain we find our strength

African legacy, we go any length

Grateful heart, we dey praise

For the wins and better days

Our heroes pave the road

Now we carry that heavy load

Mandela, Nkrumah, Sankara too

Fela show us what to do

We no go forget the price they pay

So we fit dey free today

From the motherland we came

Carrying greatness in our name

Every struggle make us wise

Now we reaching for the skies

Grateful heart, grateful soul

For the story that we told

From the pain we find our strength

African legacy, we go any length

Grateful heart, we dey praise

For the wins and better days

Our heroes pave the road

Now we carry that heavy load

Thank you for the journey

Thank you for the glory

Grateful heart forever
