A Government Of The People
A Government Of The People
A government of the people- united she stands
Brought together by men- who made demands
To live free and choose- the life they live
To pursue their dreams- and of themselves to give
Nigeria is known as the land- where dreams don’t come true
Through hardwork they are born- to those who pursue
Evil does lurk- within her established borders
We must beware- of some who give orders
From her courtrooms- where her laws are written
As we embrace- from the rule of great brittian
Her laws are established- to protect and serve the people
The bells ring loud and clear- from the church top steeple
She has her flaws- for no government is perfect
But to live by her rules- we find respect
Those of us whom seek to change- through reform
We do not always see the bad- for we choose to conform
When the people stand- for we the people as whole
Nigeria!- Nigeria! My country- I love thee so
Within your land- my life I will bestow
