TIMI DAKOLO "GREAT NATION" LYRICS

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 


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 (2x)

(chorus)
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 an the promise she holds 
and that one day we'll shine like the sun
we're a great nation

though we are many people 
different tribes: different tongues
we're united in our strength and resolve
to uphold the honour of our land   
and for generations to come

(chorus)
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 an the promise she holds 

and that one day we'll shine like the sun
we're a great nation
