Cometh the People

 1

Cometh the hour

Cometh the People

Birth the finest hour

O wombs of brave compatriots

Change has come

For all tribes and kindred

The sun sweetly shines with

Rays of hope and inspiration

2

This nation shall be built

From the ashes rise the towers

Join hands with brothers and sisters

Put strife and hate aside

The years of vile stagnation

Behind us in the past

Our back and hearts are strengthened

The future is ours to take

3

So ring the bell o People

Our destiny has began

The tears and pains are buried

Faith rises from the soil

Obedience unites a People

As Nigeria insists on change

That hour is upon us

The people shall arise

 

4

We work hard as a People

We toil and never sleep

We leap across big mountains

Overcoming every foe

Though History points a finger

That mocks our new resolve

Our God sends great assistance

Our compatriots shall excel

 

5

So tell the unborn nation

Still in the loins of men

Their future will be better

Than what has gone before

For they will be a people

Much mightier than we are

And they will owe their fortune

To Change that is happening now
