TWENTIETH OCTOBER TWENTY-TWENTY

 















I'm scared!

Really scared of stepping my feet

On the soil of Nigeria 

Cause of manslaughtering.


I weep for the dead

I'm torn for the lost

It's bloody

It's ghostly


We called it peace

They call it war

We said it is a protest

They said it is violent


We are helpless

We are hopeless

Oh God of creation

Direct our Noble cause


Direct the leaders to exile

Cause we want them no more,

They refused to be guided right

Because the youth already knows the truth in love


And honestly has began to grow

Although this leaders are not ready to live in just and truth

But we are determined to attain great lofty height 

So we can build a nation where peace and justice reign


Therefore, Arise O' compatriots

Nigeria calls, 

We obey,

We will not relent,

Cause it is not the end.
