The Motherland hears,
The Motherland knows —
That people like mice
Lie, fail, impose.
That traitors rule fools,
Doctors punish with spite,
Darkness enslaves all,
Dulls every light.
......
Nigeria our great and beloved motherland,
where multitudes of tribes unitedly stand.
Our land of hope by two rivers divided,
with lush vegetation by nature provided.
Nigeria our home of people resilient.
A land of great icons in works diligent.
We hail thee our great and revered black nation,
our land of human dignity and redemption.
