From the shadows of the past we rise
October's sun it lights our skies
Green and white the flag we unfurl
Hope and peace for a united world
Heroes paved the way strong and bold
Their dreams of freedom worth their gold
Oh Nigeria so vibrant and true
From the valleys low to the skies so blue
In diversity we find our might
Join hands together we ignite the night
With hearts united we'll stand as one
Echoes of history battles won
In every corner our voices blend
Nigerian spirit on us depend
Through trials and storms we hold on tight
Together we shine a beacon of light
Oh Nigeria so vibrant and true
From the valleys low to the skies so blue
In diversity we find our might
Join hands together we ignite the night
For freedom's song we forever sing
Nigeria our joy our everything
