I DREAM A NEW NIGERIA


1. Nigeria, home of my birth;

Of you, I cease not to dream;

Sweet dreams under the sparkling

stars of night;

And sweet dreams in the quiet and

confidence of my spirit.

2. Nigeria, how great are your struggles;

How great you have been afflicted

and affrighted;

You sons and daughters divided along

parochial interests;

But I dream a new dawn for you.

3. I dream a new Nigeria;

Where democracy's roots are

sure and firm;

I dream a new Nigeria;

Where the people's voice are heard,

respected and considered.

4. I dream a new Nigeria;

Where kids can dream and

aspire greatness;

I dream a new Nigeria;

Where kids raised by poor parents

can become leaders of their country.

5. I dream a new Nigeria;

Where ideologies forms the basis

of our political conviction;

I dream a new Nigeria;

Where national interest supercedes

individual and sectional interests.

6. I dream a new Nigeria;

Where the Green-White-Green flag

would fly with pride, honour and dignity.

I dream a new Nigeria;

Where political elements collectively

pursue one nationhood.

7. I dream a new Nigeria;

Where all tribes and regions unite

as one for common purpose;

I dream a new Nigeria;

Where tolerance, brotherhood, love

and selflessness triumphs.

8. Oh Nigeria, home of my birth;

Of you, I cease not to dream;

Sweet dreams under the sparkling

stars of the night;

And sweet dreams in the quiet

and confidence of my spirit.

9. May Providence come to your aid;

May the Invisible and Infallible Hands

of God steer your affairs;

May leaders come from your womb,

oh Nigeria;

Home of my birth, Land of my nativity,

I'll hope for the best for you.
