It contains the much needed prayer for Nigeria's present conditions

Lyrics and interpretation;
Oh God of creation,
direct our noble cause- Political selfishness, corruption and occultism is misdirecting the noble course of our great nation.
and guide our leaders right-Our leaders are increasingly clueless and requires divine direction
help our youths the truth to know- Nigerian youths increasingly think with their hearts than their heads, thereby fanning ethnic tension, hatred, protection and support of impunity, while ignoring the truth
In love and honesty to grow- Nigerians lack love and honesty as shown in military brutality against civilians, actions of trigger happy policemen against Nigerian civilians, ethnic militancy, 419, prostitution etc.
and living just and true- Most Nigerian perceive unjust means as smartness and see the truth as dumbness. Like incessant looting of public funds and widespread misappropriation of public funds by supposed honest Nigerians.
great lofty heights attain- As Nigerians, we dream for an ever elusive eldorado, which is actually achievable.
to build a nation where peace and justice shall reign- We lack peace and Justice
