AFRI-TUNES WEEK 47 --- GREAT NATION (Cover)
Hello great minds of Afri-Tunes family, it's good to be back here for this week's entry. I'd be doing a song cover titled Great Nation by Timi Dakolo. A Nigerian songwriter, producer and singer.
According to the chaos that has been going on in my country Nigeria about decrease of cash, little or no security, riots here and there, etc... Knowing that we're preparing to have our presidential election sometime this month. It's so devastating to know that our country is not progressing but regressing in so many aspects.
Even though we'd be led by a new set of people in weeks to come, it's just painful that the change we so much desire doesn't just have to come from our leaders alone but also form individuals, I mean every citizen of this country.
My entry for this week is to remind us that we need one another to grow. Not by being selfish and self-centred, not being so possessive. Coming together as ONE will really do us more good than harm. There's a saying that goes thus, "United we stand, Divided we fall". This is the real illustration of what has been happening over the years and it's until we come to the realisation that we can't do it alone neither can our leaders do it alone before things begin to change for the better.
I pray God help us to be in one ACCORD 🙏. Enjoy the beauty and lyrics of the song 🤗.
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 all we have, we'll defend our land
We're determined to rebuild and restore
Where freedom reigns, and truth prevails
A land where there′s hope for us all
A land where there's hope for us all
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 and 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
And for generations to come
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 and the promise she holds
And that one day we'll shine like the sun
We′re a great nation
Nigeria Nigeria
Nigeria Nigeria
Nigeria Nigeria
Nigeria Nigeria
Nigeria Nigeria
Nigeria Nigeria
Nigeria Nigeria
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 and the promise she holds
And that one day we'll shine like the sun
We′re all we have, we′ll defend our land
We believe...
We're all we have, we′ll defend our land
We believe...
We're a great nation.
