What’s on your mind now
You see you’re not so different
So don’t bail out
No excuses, no defence
Say it like you really mean it
Everything you say believe it
Oh yeah!
After the dawn comes the light
And you know nobody can tell you no more
Hallelujah, you believe it
I can see that you can do it
[CHORUS:]
Shine your lights
Don’t let nobody tell you
You can’t shine your light
Go out enter the world
And do just what you like
VERSE 1
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 is ours
VERSE 2
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
A land where there’s hope for us all
VERSE 3
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
VERSE 1
My skin is black
My forehead long
My hair is wooly too
And my back is strong
Strong enough to carry on
After genocide and all my family gone
What do they call me?
My name is Gatsinzi
VERSE 2
My skin is pink
It used to be black
My mirrors and my magazines
Made me cry
Discarded western bleaching creams
Eat away at my skin and self-esteem
What do they call me?
Beauty queen
