My fatherland is so endowed
in her beauty I lost myself
why didn't I notice at first
Was I blinded by the beauty of others??
your beauty gives me chills
you are so amazing
and am proud to have evolved from you
Filled with beautiful people
beautiful people with beautiful heart
our blackness makes us unique
the love in our heart makes us the best
Just as the peacock stands out amongst birds
so do we stand out amongst human race
filled with beautiful people
beautiful people with beautiful heart
Running from the east to the west
from the north to the south
your people have strived
and are still striving
That's the spirit of Africa
work hard and never relent
no food for lazy man
that's the true spirit of Africa
Blessed with natural resources
you surely are a friend of nature
you glitter more than gold
you shine than the diamond
Your people are together as one
a union most have envied
we remain united inside your womb
nothing can divide us
Together we shall rise
together we shall make it to the top
together we shall strive
that's the true spirit of Africa
am proud to be an African
am proud to be a Nigerian
am proud to be who I am
