TEARS OF A COMPATRIOT
I wail for Nigeria my country
I lament for what has become of the "tall Tree"
I groan for this polluted territory
I mourn for the innocent souls in the cemetery
- Everything is wrong with my generation
Our so-called "Drivers" only drives in corruption
Our Young once are agent of destruction
Our serenity is consumed by bomb explosions
We no longer have regards or celebrate heros
We no longer practice truth but errors
We no longer love but lust and horrors
We no longer have peace but terrors
Joy they said is "sweet as Honey"
But our Joy was taken from us in our morning
Our afternoon is seasoned with screaming and running
Our night is that of anguish and mourning
Arise oh compatriots and let's build again
The Nigeria of grains and gain
Repent oh terrorist/kidnappers and let us attain
The Nigeria where peace and justice reigns.
