Lyrics

Here we stand as a people
With one song, with one voice
We’re a nation, undivided and poised
We will take our stand, and build our land
In faith to defend what is ours

Here we are as a people
With one heart, for one cause
We’re determined to rebuild and restore
Where freedom reigns, and truth prevails
A land where there’s hope for us all
A land where there’s hope for us all

[Chorus]
We’re all we have
We’ll defend our land
We believe in this nation
And we know we’ll get there
We’re all we have
We’ll defend our land
We believe in Nigeria and the promise she holds
And that one day we’ll shine like the sun
We’re a great nation

Though we are many people
Different tribes, different tongues
We’re united in our strength and resolve
To uphold the honour of our land
And for generations to come
And for generations to come

[Chorus]
We’re all we have
We’ll defend our land
We believe in this nation
And we know we’ll get there
We’re all we have
We’ll defend our land
We believe in Nigeria and the promise she holds
And that one day we’ll shine like the sun
We’re a great nation

Nigeria Nigeria
Nigeria Nigeria

[Chorus]
We’re all we have (say we’re all we have)
We’ll defend our land (we’ll defend our land)
We believe in this nation
And we know we’ll get there some day (can somebody sing with me)
We’re all we have
We’ll defend our land (we’ll defend our land)
We believe in our nation Nigeria and the promise she holds for us
And someday we’ll shine like the sun (Ooh)
From the north, South, East to West, somebody say

[Chorus]
