It is still morning here in Nigeria
Though the evening is fast approaching
The child born without spoon is now eating with it
She never saw her mother for protection and guidance

It is still morning here in Nigeria
The child understands many languages from birth
Eats different dishes and simply loved by love
Crying because she is not only poverty

It is still morning here in Nigeria
The voices of the good mothers is reaching the right ears
A people left behind are coming out of the desert
To behold a promise in the rivers of merriment

It is still morning here in Nigeria
The cock still crows at dawn repeatedly
Reminding us across values that hurry is dangerous
Step by step she proposed for climbing

It is still morning here in Nigeria
The military just left us to chair ourselves
Our leadership is learning for history
Life chapters unfold for their lessons and service is enthroned

It is still morning here in Nigeria
A reformer is better than a non-reformer
Experience teach life is beautiful in Nigeria
It require our opinion to become better

It is still morning here in Nigeria
Democracy is just eight years old and a baby
Though the child has become the fool at over-forty
Understanding and action hath created development

It is still morning here in Nigeria
Once a people saw unprecedented crisis and conflict
Sustainable approaches married the day to a level
A voice for the youth enthroned and we see a vision for the future

It is still morning here in Nigeria
Let the masses live is the morning prayers of the people
It has a bright morning of would be better
It’s afternoon and evening would be crowned best!
