I danced naked at the stadium
With the knowledge that I would never appreciate
Lots of love for my heritage.
I understood the popular songs
That children sang in the days
When women witnessed the taboos-
What men refused to witness in cold.
I glanced through the papers and saw,
I heard my peculiar nature was alive.
We heard many tales from Shakespeare,
Even the Macks of our time spoke.
In one day we were transformed
Into something serious.
One day, we turned the tables
And we found hate that troubled us.
Today, we cry and we hope
For tomorrow in the womb of the godless.
As mercy and necessity came calling
Nigeria arrived in the mercy of mercies
Awaken, world of plants and people.
It was unfortunate the business that occurred.
Yet the future still holds hope.
We survived because we lived.
Unity lived with hope;
Prosperity laughed at the stadium;
Education retreated within those realms;
A partnership was built that lasted.
