Ah-ah...
Lord,
hear
our
cry
Omo,
the
sun
set
too
early
today
We
dey
look
for
light
in
the
dark
We
live
like
strangers
in
our
own
land
Oh
Lord,
wetin
we
do
to
deserve
this
hand?
The
land
is
weeping,
the
soil
is
dry
Bandits
killing
people
like
they
don't
even
sigh
Politicians
catch
cruise,
playing
with
our
fate
Promise
and
fail,
leave
us
outside
the
gate
No
road
to
travel,
no
power
to
see
No
water
for
the
cup,
where
can
we
flee?
Hunger,
hunger
everywhere
in
Nigeria
People
dying
every
day
in
Nigeria
Oh,
the
pain,
can
you
hear
the
sound?
Bandits
roaming,
turning
souls
to
ground
Hunger,
hunger
everywhere
in
Nigeria
My
people
fading
away
in
Nigeria
If
you
speak
the
truth,
they
mark
your
name
They
make
the
laws
to
serve
a
crooked
game
If
you
be
poor,
the
law
na
heavy
chain
But
if
you
be
rich,
you
above
the
pain
They
call
us
the
future,
the
hope
of
the
light
But
they
deny
us
the
right
to
stand
and
fight
If
you
be
a
bandit,
they
treat
you
like
a
king
They
call
them
born-again,
let
the
praises
ring
But
freedom
fighters?
They
label
them
terrorists
Stealing
our
future
right
from
our
very
wrists
They
say
we
are
the
leaders
of
tomorrow
But
today
is
buried
in
a
grave
of
sorrow
Oh
Lord,
rescue
us
from
this
plight
Bring
us
out
from
the
belly
of
the
night
E
don
do,
we
tire
for
this
pain
We
pray
for
the
sun
to
break
through
the
rain
Hunger,
hunger
everywhere
in
Nigeria
People
dying
every
day
in
Nigeria
Oh,
the
pain,
can
you
hear
the
sound?
Bandits
roaming,
turning
souls
to
ground
Hunger,
hunger
everywhere
in
Nigeria
My
people
fading
away
in
Nigeria
Nigeria,
when
will
we
breathe
again?
Nigeria,
help
us
survive
the
rain
No
dulling,
we
pray
for
peace
E
don
do,
let
the
struggle
cease (
Fade
out
with
talking
drum)
