In vain we might have tolled in pain
we must have made mistakes
and soiled the national cake.
That was then we would say,
for we are better than we were yesterday.
We can proudly say today
is indeed a happy day.
Accept my congratulation on our
anniversary and more power
be unto our elbow.
To this i give a bow!
Happy independence Nigerians
with our green, white and green
we proudly say to ourselves again
Happy Independence!
