Pride of Africa

(Talking drum rhythm fades in)

Oya, listen now

This one for the green and the white

For the people, for the land, for the soul

Yeah, we rise, no matter the weather

I travel far, from the east to the west

Across the ocean, searching for the best

But nowhere feels like the ground I know

My naija spirit, watch the fire grow

From Lagos traffic to the desert sand

There’s magic hidden in this blessed land

We keep on pushing, yeah we stand so tall

Through every season, we don't ever fall

Oh, my country, my beloved home

God’s own people, wherever we roam

Nigeria, you’re the pride of the sun

Our story shining, yeah we are the one

Oh, my country, the pride of the earth

We celebrate the value of our birth

We see the challenges, we feel the weight

But we are masters of our own fate

With every heartbeat, we sing a song

This is the place where we all belong

Great heritage, from the roots to the sky

See how we sparkle, see how we fly

No dulling spirit, we have got the flow

Taking the world everywhere that we go

Oh, my country, my beloved home

God’s own people, wherever we roam

Nigeria, you’re the pride of the sun

Our story shining, yeah we are the one

Oh, my country, the pride of the earth

We celebrate the value of our birth

Though the road may be long and the hill may be steep

There’s a promise of greatness that we’re gonna keep

Stronger together, through the heat and the rain

Rising in power, breaking every chain

(Ehen! See gobe, but we overcome!)

Oh, my country, my beloved home

God’s own people, wherever we roam

Nigeria, you’re the pride of the sun

Our story shining, yeah we are the one

Oh, my country, the pride of the earth

We celebrate the value of our birth

I believe in you, my home

Always and forever, yeah

Naija to the world

We shine, we shine
