Have you heard of a great nation
That caught off the sanction of their station
A place where blacks dwell
In the triumphant valley of blues
Somewhere far to the east
With diverse cultures and beliefs
Which set them free from chaos
And bitter slavery
Have you heard of my home so true
My fathers own land
With hand-filled resources
Have you heard of the name Nigeria
Where God’s heart lives
And the Sun-rays set
Oh what a heavenly sight
To be accustomed with this delight
Blessed with riches and wealth
Other nations jewel
Raised in despair hands
Tortured to a might grasp
Acquitted to modern tragedy
All in the name of civilization
Nigeria,my first love
Rise up my joy
For you are the source from which we ploy
