Lyrics

Intro

Eh eh eh

Naija

From the hills of Jos

Across the market stalls

Lagos

We dey hustle

Chorus

When the generator sleeps

We still carry light inside our souls

When the darkness covers the streets

We still shine

We still shine like gold

When the generator sleeps

The drums of hope still beat

Naija heart no dey retreat

We rise again on our feet

Post-Chorus

Oh oh oh

Shine like gold

Eh eh eh

Beat the drum

Verse 1

Under the Lagos moon we move

Yellow danfo find a groove

The traffic holds us for a while

Still we keep a giant smile

Mama frying akara

Hot

Dreaming with the little she got

Every corner has a story

Every struggle finds a glory

Pre-Chorus

Voices ringing through the air

Voices finding every share

In the chaos life is sweet

In the chaos life is sweet

Chorus

When the generator sleeps

We still carry light inside our souls

When the darkness covers the streets

We still shine

We still shine like gold

When the generator sleeps

The drums of hope still beat

Naija heart no dey retreat

We rise again on our feet

Post-Chorus

Oh oh oh

Shine like gold

Eh eh eh

Beat the drum

Verse 2

Harmattan winds across the land

Writing stories in the sand

Whispering through the ancient trees

Carrying our memories

The haze might hide the road

Faith still carries every load

The future waits beyond the gray

For a better brighter day

Pre-Chorus

Roots of the giant deep

Roots that never fall asleep

One embrace

One place

Chorus

When the generator sleeps

We still carry light inside our souls

When the darkness covers the streets

We still shine

We still shine like gold

When the generator sleeps

The drums of hope still beat

Naija heart no dey retreat

We rise again on our feet

Drop

Naija

Naija

Rise again

Rise again

Chorus

When the generator sleeps

We still carry light inside our souls

When the darkness covers the streets

We still shine

We still shine like gold

When the generator sleeps

The drums of hope still beat

Naija heart no dey retreat

We rise again on our feet
