The Nation It Begins with You

Great lofty height attained

To build a nation where peace and justice shall reign

That is the nation we seek to have not just a mega kind of state

Am not calling for a second chance but am calling for agent of change

That will wake up to nation building redeeming back the nation

From what has been deprive her of development for ages

See if you are out there and you care at all

Of the nation of which you are a citizen

Am asking you to rise to the call for us

To move from mediocrity not start reasoning

And preparing for that future we want to see our nation

Am not saying to hall an ill-reform without last reformation

That will outlive its reformers long time ago when they’ve gone

But am calling on revolutionaries who expect thing in return

See the nation has been this way for long and we can’t just afford

To go on and on as if nothing is happening at all

There’s a cry out there in the cities, societies and highways

Everywhere we turn to there’s an earnest plea for nothing but change

Within and without in every sectors of our life as a nation

Am not seeking for some collective view of some people

But all what am asking is for a new course that is channel with passion

The passion to change the old long status quo

Reverberating and reawaken the mind to reason for change

Am speaking for the one out there who has gone through a lot

Faith is lost in the government of the day that spirit of patriotism is lost

While must this just continue all the way

When we will arise to the call to nation building

Don’t you know that nation building is your responsibility?

Just as the your civic right to pay your taxes

Am not calling for complainers, critics and fault finders

Be it on air, print media and visual medias

To build a nation where everything is working out big time

To build a nation where peace, equity, calmness and justice prevail

To build a nation where political manifesto is taken with utmost care off

To build a nation where everyone wants to be hard free hearing

To build a nation where each one sees that the right thing is done

 To see that nation me, you we’ve got to work: it begins with you
