[Intro]
Dawn breaks on the plains of a shared homeland, hand in hand we rise.
[Verse 1]
From Lagos markets to river valleys, a tapestry of voices intertwined,
We lift our prayers to the bright new sun, the courage of our hearts aligned.
In classrooms lit with chalk and hope, our children shape the days ahead,
With drums that speak our history, waking dreams in every breaded thread.
[Chorus]
All across the land, we sing as one,
Different tongues beneath one sun.
Hands joined in faith and fidelity,
Nigeria alive in unity.
[Verse 2]
Forests, plains, and sunlit shores, bound by a pledge we hold to stay,
From Kano to Calabar, from the hills to the sparkling bay.
We honor our ancestors’ enduring song, their stories woven in our fate,
And with every step toward morning light, we build a future bright and great.
[Chorus]
All across the land, we sing as one,
Different tongues beneath one sun.
Hands joined in faith and fidelity,
Nigeria alive in unity.
[Bridge]
We march with drums that thunder wide, with markets bright and prayers that rise,
We guard each other, stand as kin, under the ever-watching skies.
Languages blend like rivers meet, in harmony our voices roar,
A nation stitched by love and hope, forever seeking something more.
[Chorus]
All across the land, we sing as one,
Different tongues beneath one sun.
Hands joined in faith and fidelity,
Nigeria alive in unity.
[Outro]
Sunrise holds us in its light, a vow we keep from sea to sea,
In schools and streets, in every heart, the future sings through you and me.
We rise in peace, we rise in strength, we rise in unity.
