Oh I wanna tell you 'bout the first day of October
All of these facts I clearly remember, yeah
It was in the year nineteen sixty
The flag was hoisted a sign of unity yeah
Lord I'm so glad Nigeria is free
But no doubt this freedom that cost us some fee
All is so right the future so bright
Nigeria united will show the light
We've got to listen to nature's call
And don't let tribal barriers grow tall, no no no no
We've got to listen, listen to our leaders
We must go on Nigeria is one
Pour water on the fire
And stop the flames burning high
That's our desire
One united Nigeria
Pour water on the fire
And stop the flames burning high
That's our desire
One united Nigeria
One united Nigeria
One united Nigeria
Pour water on the fire
And stop the flames burning high
That's our desire
One united Nigeria
Pour water on the fire
And stop the flames burning high
That's our desire
One united Nigeria
One united Nigeria
One united Nigeria
