Oya,
join
your
voice
with
mine
For
the
ones
who
stand
in
the
line
For
the
green
and
white,
we
pray
Nigeria,
today
is
your
day
Sixty-six
years
of
standing
tall
Through
the
storm,
through
the
wall
To
the
Army,
Navy,
and
the
Air
force
men
Protecting
our
borders
again
and
again
Police
and
Civil
Defence
on
the
street
Ensuring
our
safety
with
steady
feet
We
see
your
sweat,
we
feel
your
pain
Working
through
the
sun
and
the
heavy
rain
Oh,
champions
of
the
soil,
we
salute
you
today
For
the
sacrifices
made
in
every
single
way
To
the
diligent
ones,
you
are
the
pride
of
the
land
With
integrity
as
your
strength,
holding
our
hand
May
the
heavens
guard
you
and
your
family
too
Nigeria
says
thank
you
for
everything
you
do
But
let
the
truth
be
spoken,
let
it
be
heard
To
the
ones
who
lose
the
way,
take
heed
of
the
word
Corruption
is
a
burden
that
pulls
us
apart
It
breaks
the
very
rhythm
of
the
nation’
s
heart
If
you
wear
the
uniform,
wear
it
with
grace
Don’
t
let
the
greed
show
on
your
face
For
the
people
are
watching,
the
country
is
counting
On
your
honor
and
your
service,
to
keep
us
mounting
Oh,
champions
of
the
soil,
we
salute
you
today
For
the
sacrifices
made
in
every
single
way
To
the
diligent
ones,
you
are
the
pride
of
the
land
With
integrity
as
your
strength,
holding
our
hand
May
the
heavens
guard
you
and
your
family
too
Nigeria
says
thank
you
for
everything
you
do
Though
the
road
is
rough
and
the
task
is
grand
You
carry
the
weight
of
this
blessed
land
In
the
valley
of
death,
you
walk
with
no
fear
With
every
mission,
you
hold
us
so
dear
We
lift
you
up
to
the
throne
on
high
For
the
peace
you
preserve
beneath
this
sky
So
soldier,
officer,
guard
of
the
gate
May
prosperity
be
your
beautiful
fate
Stay
bold,
stay
true,
let
the
light
shine
through
We
are
standing
right
here,
supporting
you
From
the
North
to
the
South,
we
scream
your
name
Your
service
is
a
light,
a
burning
flame
Oh,
champions
of
the
soil,
we
salute
you
today
For
the
sacrifices
made
in
every
single
way
To
the
diligent
ones,
you
are
the
pride
of
the
land
With
integrity
as
your
strength,
holding
our
hand
May
the
heavens
guard
you
and
your
family
too
Nigeria
says
thank
you
for
everything
you
do
Nigeria,
we
rise,
we
stand
God
bless
the
heroes
of
this
land
No
dulling,
just
pure
love
