GIANT, OH GIANT!

Giant, oh Giant!
For how long will thou be the sleeping giant?
The whole world awaits your awakening
The black race is dependent on you
Yet, you have got time to snore
A country blessed with milk and honey yet eat from the crumbs of other nations
*****

Giant, oh Giant!
For how long will thou be the dwaft among nations?
The world awaits your manifestation
The black race are looking up to you
Yet, you are contented with where you are
A country strong and mighty yet acts like a coward
*****

Giant, oh Giant!
For how long will thou have pleasure in crisis?
The black race awaits your oneness
Yet, you are smiling in the midst of crisis
A country bounded by love and unity
*****

Giant, oh Giant!
Wake up, oh wake up!
For you have got to stand on your feet and claim your ground
God has invested so much on you
It's time to gather your strength
Nigeria, I say wake up.
