Verse 1:

Once upon a time we lived together as one

With the heart of love we stood by each other

Let us turn around and go back to the old ways

Where there’s no hate there’s no contention

Verse 2:

Once upon a time we lived together in unity once upon a time we cared about humanity

 let us turn around and go back to the old ways

Where we exist in love affection and compassion

Chorus:

Oh let us come together Nigeria forever

And live in love and unity

Oh let us come together to build one holy nation

And live in Love and unity

Bridge:

We are standing tall we’ll never fall

With the heart of love we’ll stand as one

For the labour of our heros past shall never be in vain

Oh let us stop the killings and lead with love

Embrace our culture and help the poor

United we stand divided we fall

Nigeria will stand as one

Chorus:

Oh let us come together Nigeria forever

And live in love and unity

Oh let us come together to build one holy nation

And live in Love and unity

Verse 3:

Once upon a time

We lived as one.

Neighbours were family.

Leaders walked with the people.

Love was real.

And tribe was not a wall, but a thread.

But somehow…

We lost that rhythm.

We forgot that one broken part

Can weaken the whole nation.

So today, we raise our voice

With hope,

With humility,

With heart.

To our leaders:

This is the time to lead with vision,

To govern with compassion,

To serve with integrity.

To our people:

This is the time to choose unity,

To heal beyond tribe,

To build with love and understanding.

Because if we do not build together,

We will break apart.

Nigeria is the giant of Africa.

We are meant to lead with wisdom,

To shine with grace,

To inspire by example.

We are the future of Africa

And when we stand united,

The continent stands stronger.

When we walk in truth,

Africa walks with us.

And when we love deeply,

The world sees hope again.

Let us not forget:

The world is watching.

Africa is listening.

So as we sing this chorus

Let every heart hear it loud:

Now is the time to rise.

Now is the time to care.

Now is the time to love,

For real.
