You have no other ground<br>
It’s your country<br>
You have no other territory<br>
It’s your nation<br>
You owe it your obligation
<p>See it as yours<br>
Not theirs<br>
As your mother’s<br>
And your father’s</p>
<p>You may travel to many countries<br>
Marry their ladies<br>
Win their visas<br>
And claim you are theirs<br>
A citizen of two countries<br>
An indigene of two territories</p>
<p>But when there is separation of the wheat<br>
And the sheep is called to the right<br>
Then you’ll know that there is nowhere on earth<br>
Better than the country of your birth</p>
<p>Nigeria is yours<br>
It’s my father’s and mother’s<br>
So let’s come together<br>
And lift her higher<br>
Let’s put her first<br>
Before our personal interest<br>
Then the Nigeria we long to behold<br>
Will before us unfold</p>
