Timi Dakolo's Great Nation Lyric...A song of Hope...For the Love of my Nation

   

The song inspires me to think deeper than the confusion, insults, embarrassments, fights, killing, ridicule, etc going on within Nigeria. It just makes want to keep humming hopefully to my beloved nation...I love you Nigeria in spite of all....you're all I have

Here we stand as a people

With one song: with one voice

We're a nation: undivided and poised

We will take our stand: and build our land

In faith: to defend what is ours

Here we are as a people

With one heart: for one cause

We're determined: to rebuild and restore

Where freedom reigns: and truth prevails

A land where there's hope for us all (2x)

(Chorus)

We're all we have, we'll defend our land

We believe in this nation, and we know we'll get there

We're all we have, we'll defend our land

We believe in Nigeria and the promise she holds

And that one day we'll shine like the sun

We're a great nation

Though we are many people

Different tribes: different tongues

We're united in our strength and resolve

To uphold the honour of our land

And for generations to come

(Chorus)

We're all we have, we'll defend our land

We believe in this nation, and we know we'll get there

We're all we have, we'll defend our land

We believe in Nigeria and the promise she holds

And that one day we'll shine like the sun

We’re a great nation
