We sleep in our beds dreaming of Romeo and Juliet, while you stay up at watch with your torch, rifle and bayonet.

You do it for fatherland, some of us do it to afford some timberland...

Bravehearts from across the Niger, it's not about the name Nigeria, but the mind, hearts and souls, you give your life so we can chill and dream of getting old.

Facing terrorists, devils and monsters, with your will and soldier's prayer...if I should die before I wake, I pray the lord my soul to keep.

God bless the Nigerian army and armed forces, we are grateful for your sacrifice. You are heroes.

Happy armed forces rememberance day...the labor of past heroes will never be in vain.

God bless our troops.
