My Nigeria
The tree
That borne the histories
Of Africa
Without passing through
The throes
Of labour
We saw your strive
As the coverpage
For the pages
Of Africa
We saw your strive
As the mouth piece
For the voices
Of Africa
We saw your blood
Flaunting to the world
Our worth
Yes you are
The heart of Africa
