Lyrics

We will get through this
We will get through the night
We will not faint
We will arise
And we will win this fight
Though there are mountains
Though fear casts a shadow now
Yet we will stand
With God on our side
Till we see a turnaround

Rise...from defeat
Rise...from despair
Rise O Nigeria
This is our finest hour

Our comrades have fallen
And tears are in our eyes
But some, standing on their watch,
Are fighting to save the day
So roll up your sleeves now
It's time to join the fight
The world has changed
So now we must face
A new tomorrow

Rise...from defeat
Rise...from despair
Rise O Nigeria
This is our finest hour
