Countless blessings, many nations' dream
Nature's treasures, for us free of charge
We don't have earthquakes, neither hurricanes
What do we give back in return
We will never give up
Give up
Never give up
Never give up Nigeria
We will always lift up
Lift up
Always lift up
Always lift up Nigeria
This dreamland was given to us all
To enjoy forever more
Generation to generation
But this house must never fall
Rise rise rise, Nigeria arise
Up up up, Nigeria shall rise

We must resolve to realise our dream
To build a great united nation
Greatness won't come overnight
But with focus, we'll surely get there

Up up up, Nigeria shall rise
With hard work, faith and equity
With discipline, Nigeria shall rise
I was born a proud Nigerian
I will live and die a proud Nigerian
And if I come back a million times
I will come back a proud Nigerian

With discipline, Nigeria shall rise
We will never give up
Rise rise rise, Nigeria arise
Up up up, Nigeria shall rise
With hard work, faith and equity
With discipline, Nigeria shall rise
