[female
vocals] (
Soulful
vocal
hum)
Ah,
oya
now
Nigeria,
our
land
of
gold
Listen
to
the
trees
calling
From
the
North
down
to
the
Southern
tide
God
gave
us
riches
we
cannot
hide
Lush
green
forests,
a
treasure
untold
But
we
trade
our
future
for
silver
and
gold
While
the
strangers
settle
in
our
secret
glade
Watching
the
empire
that
we
have
betrayed
It’
s
time
to
wake
up,
look
at
the
land
Healing
the
power
inside
of
our
hand
Oh,
let
the
forest
rise
again,
Nigeria
We
are
the
keepers
of
the
crown,
Nigeria
No
more
wasting
what
the
heavens
gave
Break
the
chain,
we
are
not
a
slave
To
the
waste,
to
the
greed,
to
the
silence
now
Restoring
the
greatness,
we
make
a
vow
Leadership
blind
while
the
timber
falls
Can
you
hear
the
spirit
inside
of
the
halls?
Our
potential
is
buried
in
the
root
and
leaf
Turn
our
sorrow
into
a
firm
relief
It’
s
not
just
for
us,
it’
s
for
the
ones
to
come
Beat
the
rhythm
on
the
sacred
drum
No
more
strangers
stealing
our
pride
With
the
truth
of
the
nation
open
wide
Oh,
let
the
forest
rise
again,
Nigeria
We
are
the
keepers
of
the
crown,
Nigeria
No
more
wasting
what
the
heavens
gave
Break
the
chain,
we
are
not
a
slave
To
the
waste,
to
the
greed,
to
the
silence
now
Restoring
the
greatness,
we
make
a
vow
We
rise,
we
rise,
from
the
soil
we
grow
We
rise,
we
rise,
from
the
soil
we
grow
Take
back
the
power
that
the
people
know
It’
s
a
new
day,
a
new
way,
see
the
light
Walking
together
through
the
darkest
night
Oh,
let
the
forest
rise
again,
Nigeria
We
are
the
keepers
of
the
crown,
Nigeria
No
more
wasting
what
the
heavens
gave
Break
the
chain,
we
are
not
a
slave
To
the
waste,
to
the
greed,
to
the
silence
now
Restoring
the
greatness,
we
make
a
vow
Restoration
calling
Nigeria,
shine
your
eye
We
keep
our
own,
we
own
our
own
Bless
this
land,
yeah (
Fading
vocal
melody)
