Listen
close,
the
winds
are
blowing
cold
Oh,
Nigeria,
hear
the
cry
of
the
soul
President
Tinubu,
look
across
the
land
The
people
crying
out,
they
need
a
helping
hand
Bandits
in
the
dark,
shadows
on
the
street
Families
left
in
mourning,
bitter
and
defeat
Hunger
is
a
visitor
that’
s
knocking
at
the
door
Turning
all
our
promises
into
something
poor
We
see
the
lives
departing,
fading
like
the
sun
And
we
wonder
where
the
safety
and
the
peace
has
gone
Oh
Mr.
President,
please
hear
the
plea
Rule
us
with
respect,
set
the
spirit
free
If
all
the
citizens
fall
beneath
the
weight
Who
will
you
govern,
who
will
seal
our
fate?
We
choose
to
love
you,
show
that
love
back
home
Don’
t
let
us
wander
in
the
dark
all
alone
It’
s
heavy
on
the
heart,
the
pain
is
running
deep
Across
the
nation’
s
borders,
secrets
that
we
keep
Citizens
are
falling,
hunger
bites
the
bone
Waiting
for
a
leader
to
claim
the
broken
throne
Can
you
feel
the
silence,
the
echo
of
the
cry?
Do
you
see
the
future
underneath
the
sky?
We
need
you
standing
firm,
we
need
you
here
to
stay
Oh
Mr.
President,
please
hear
the
plea
Rule
us
with
respect,
set
the
spirit
free
If
all
the
citizens
fall
beneath
the
weight
Who
will
you
govern,
who
will
seal
our
fate?
We
choose
to
love
you,
show
that
love
back
home
Don’
t
let
us
wander
in
the
dark
all
alone
Show
that
love
back
home
Waiting
for
a
leader
to
claim
the
broken
throne
Can
you
feel
the
silence,
the
echo
of
the
cry?
Do
you
see
the
future
underneath
the
sky? (
Sharp
sharp)
We
are
begging
you
to
lead
with
grace
Bring
a
sense
of
order
to
this
sacred
place
Oh
Mr.
President,
please
hear
the
plea
Rule
us
with
respect,
set
the
spirit
free
If
all
the
citizens
fall
beneath
the
weight
Who
will
you
govern,
who
will
seal
our
fate?
We
choose
to
love
you,
show
that
love
back
home
Don’
t
let
us
wander
in
the
dark
all
alone (
Yebo)
We
hold
on
to
hope,
though
the
road
is
long
We
need
a
leader
who
will
make
us
strong
Respect
the
people,
that
is
all
we
pray
Guide
us
through
the
darkness
to
a
brighter
day (
Asambe)
It
is
not
a
challenge,
it
is
just
a
sign
That
the
unity
we
carry
is
a
thin,
fragile
line
Love
is
the
answer,
love
is
the
way
Bring
us
back
to
life,
help
us
find
the
day
Don’
t
feel
less
concerned,
don’
t
look
the
other
way
We
need
you
standing
firm,
we
need
you
here
to
stay
Oh
Mr.
President,
please
hear
the
plea
Rule
us
with
respect,
set
the
spirit
free
If
all
the
citizens
fall
beneath
the
weight
Who
will
you
govern,
who
will
seal
our
fate?
We
choose
to
love
you,
show
that
love
back
home
Don’
t
let
us
wander
in
the
dark
all
alone
Show
that
love
back
home
Show
that
love
back
home (
Sho)
Lead
us
with
respect
We
still
believe,
oh
Mr.
President (
