i look at my land
and i couldnt help but behold
as i cried at the sight
my home and country is dying
at the feet of mens babbling
everywhere you go is greed
from the newborn to the old
o! my home and city
nigeria the giant of africa
what can one do to save you from greed
as deeper you drown everyday we groan
