Arise oh! Compatriots

There’s a clarion calls that swift across our nation
A call to stand and stand firm to save our nation
Which way we are heading to arise Nigerians here the call
If you hear this message am calling on every man and woman
We are the future generation we can’t avoid to wait
The future started yesterday and today we are already late.

Is a call not just a call…a clarion call?
To one and all irrespective of whom we are
Yes! We are Africa…Africa lives in us
The pride of motherland…the giant of Africa
Arise! Arise the trumpet calls obey.

Awake from thy slumber
Oh motherland…comes out of that pity zone
Out of what can I do brace up
Our nation is dying and no one can save her
Nigeria must build Nigerians.

I am calling on everyone
If you hears this message
Wherever you stand I’m calling
On every boy, girl, man and woman
We’re Nigerians so lets save Nigeria
Come lets fix a new Nigeria
It begins with YOU and I.

Here the call is coming from a distant land
The sound is whistling so high
A call to obey in service
To our father’s land
With love and strength and faith
Standing firm to build our nation
So that the about of our heroes past
Will never and shall never be in vain
Serving in heart and might
With one goal…one pursuit
One passion…one focus
One nation bound in freedom
Coming together for just the course
Of peace and unity.
