Intro
Eh eh eh
Nna anyị oo
Eh eh eh
Ala anyị na-ebe akwa
Verse 1
Sunrise holds no honey
Market stalls are empty
Mother cannot close her heavy eyes
Children hungry under hollow skies
Struggling to survive the morning
Struggling to see the light
Pre-Chorus
Everything has gotten so expensive
We are running out of breath
Searching for a peaceful place
Chasing shadows of a better life
Chorus
Ala anyị na-ebe akwa
Ala anyị na-ebe akwa
Hunger stalks the young ones now
Salt is stinging in our wounds
Chineke biko lee anyị anya
Chineke biko lee anyị anya
The earth is drinking bitter blood
Our strength is gone into the dirt
Verse 2
Graduates have no labor
They sail across the salt
Fainting on a lonely road
Fainting under heavy loads
Hope is getting harder to find
Hope is a ghost in the street
Pre-Chorus
Everything has gotten so expensive
We are running out of breath
Searching for a peaceful place
Chasing shadows of a better life
Chorus
Ala anyị na-ebe akwa
Ala anyị na-ebe akwa
Hunger stalks the young ones now
Salt is stinging in our wounds
Chineke biko lee anyị anya
Chineke biko lee anyị anya
The earth is drinking bitter blood
Our strength is gone into the dirt
Bridge
Chineke nnaanyị
Mee ebere
Chekwaa ala Igbo
Chekwaa Nigeria
Healing for the broken
Healing for the home
Chorus
Ala anyị na-ebe akwa
Ala anyị na-ebe akwa
Hunger stalks the young ones now
Salt is stinging in our wounds
Chineke biko lee anyị anya
Chineke biko lee anyị anya
The earth is drinking bitter blood
Our strength is gone into the dirt
