Nigeria of My dream

I weep in fear
I feel so dim with drear
Longing for a ray of light
To make it come out bright
It started with a fight
Brought about great fright
 
Children out of sight
Parent gets the bite
Eyes fading off
Plans falling off
War now our conclusion
Killing now a profession
 
 
Men can no longer trust
Like metals hearts now rust
The wealthy defend their pockets
The masses move with empty buckets
Education now a second order discipline
Yet we call the youth leaders of tomorrow
 
I cry for my dream
I wish it wasn’t dim
I pray it comes true
After all what I have been through
Days of starvation
Days of stagnation
 
I see a nation where the coat of arms means a lot
Where the anthem is not sang for naught
Where our currency will not be bought
Where our flag will be without a blot
Where our motto will calm down wrath
Where our leaders will have us in thought
 
I see citizens being equal
Where parental connections won’t be the ticket
I see men boasting of three square meal with good roads
I see our graduates smile to their place of work
I see all religious leaders eating from one bowl
I see the green in our flag showing on our lands
 
I see NIGERIA lending to nations
I see education being everyone’s right
I can’t wait to see this come true
But I need you, you and you
to see what I am seeing
Let it come through in our time
 
Innocents blood are tired of crying
Animals are fed up of dying in disaster
Children are tired of praying
See NIGERIA like I do
Love and Pray for NIGERIA
And NIGERIA OF MY DREAM and OUR DREAM can come true
