Stay away! Away from the rock.
All you Nigerian military men
Stay away! Away from the rock.
Although this democracy has failed us.
For folding their arms while our land was being bombed.
And for closing their eyes while our children were being kidnapped.
Our suffering continues to increase while their joy refuses to decrease.
To God we cry with tears in our eyes.
All we could see in our dreams every night is a man in khaki rescuing us from these woes.
But no, we will not resort to crime.
Instead, we will continue to keep our fire of hope burning.
And at the top of our voice we will continue to shout.
Stay away! Away from the rock.
All you Nigerian military men
Stay away! Away from the rock.
