Here is TIMI DAKOLO's "GREAT NATION" LYRICS (beautiful anthem indeed. Should be Nigeria's second or alternative National Anthem)

Here we stand as a people
With one song: with one voice
We're a nation: undivided and poised
We will take our stand: and build our land
With faith: to defend what we love

Here we are as a people
With one heart: for one cause
We're determined: to rebuild and restore
Where freedom reigns: and truth prevails
A land where there's hope for us all (2x)

(Chorus)
We're all we have, we'll defend our land
We believe in this nation, and we know we'll get there
We're all we have, we'll defend our land
We believe in Nigeria and the promise she holds
And that one day we'll shine like the sun
We're a great nation


Though we are many people
Different tribes: different tongues
We're united in our strength and resolve
To uphold the honour of our land
And for generations to come

(Chorus)
We're all we have, we'll defend our land
We believe in this nation, and we know we'll get there
We're all we have, we'll defend our land
We believe in Nigeria and the promise she holds
And that one day we'll shine like the sun
We’re a great nation

I actually wish it could be used as a replacement for our current anthem. I liked it the first time i heard it.

Nice lyrics.

Mediocre and really the current one or the old one still beat it.. But nice job.

This is a nice effort towards re-awakening our national consciousness.

He has a nice voice; these are the kind of Nigerians we should be celebrating as our best musicians, and not bland singers like T****e.

I agree!.
