Oh,
we
lift
our
voices
up
From
the
ancient
stones
to
the
present
day
Atuku,
we
rise!
Deep
in
the
heart
of
the
Kaduna
soil
Where
our
ancestors
lived
with
the
sweat
and
the
toil
In
the
ancient
caves,
they
found
their
rest
Protected
by
grace,
they
were
truly
blessed
From
the
stone
walls
built
to
keep
us
safe
To
the
life
we
bloom
in
this
sacred
space
Oh,
we
remember
where
we
used
to
be
Now
we
stand
in
truth,
in
liberty
Atuku
people,
our
pride
and
our
light
Our
history
shining
so
steady
and
bright
From
the
caves
of
the
past
to
the
future
we
hold
Our
story
is
vibrant,
our
story
is
bold
Atuku,
our
land,
our
heritage
stays
We
lift
up
our
hearts
in
a
song
of
praise
We
migrated
out
to
the
fertile
plains
Building
our
homes
through
the
sun
and
the
rains
Atuku
Kasa,
Atuku
Tozo
stand
With
the
strength
of
our
fathers
in
this
golden
land
Our
language,
our
culture,
the
traditions
we
keep
Deep
in
our
souls,
the
promise
runs
deep (
Hallelujah!)
We
are
one
family,
we
are
one
root
Growing
together
with
the
sweetest
fruit
Atuku
people,
our
pride
and
our
light
Our
history
shining
so
steady
and
bright
From
the
caves
of
the
past
to
the
future
we
hold
Our
story
is
vibrant,
our
story
is
bold
Atuku,
our
land,
our
heritage
stays
We
lift
up
our
hearts
in
a
song
of
praise
Greater
today,
we
are
stronger
than
ever
Bound
by
the
love
that
we
share
together
No
mountain
too
high,
no
valley
too
low
See
the
grace
of
the
Lord
in
the
seeds
that
we
sow
Atuku
people,
our
pride
and
our
light
Our
history
shining
so
steady
and
bright
From
the
caves
of
the
past
to
the
future
we
hold
Our
story
is
vibrant,
our
story
is
bold
Atuku,
our
land,
our
heritage
stays
We
lift
up
our
hearts
in
a
song
of
praise
Oh,
Atuku,
stand
tall
Our
heritage,
our
home (
Praise
God!)
From
the
caves
to
the
glory
We
rise!
We
rise!
