Lyrics

Verse 1

Lagos morning, red dust rising

Same sun that saw our fathers praying

Potholes deep but roots go deeper

Every street corner holds a keeper

Naija woman selling akara

Tells me patience is a warrior

Chorus

Heal, heal, heal Nigeria

From the north wind to the delta water

Heal, heal, heal Nigeria

One hand, one heart, one tomorrow

Heal, heal, heal Nigeria

Broken borders but we stand like baobab

Post-Chorus

Omo naija, omo naija

Rise up, rise up

Omo naija, omo naija

We go make am

Verse 2

My uncle talked about the sixties

When the flag flew high and the hope was plenty

Now we count the cost of wasted chances

Young blood seeking overseas answers

But I stay, I plant seeds in this soil

Some things you fix with more than oil

Pre-Chorus

No be small thing, I know

But the fire still glow

Inside every soul

We no go let this go

Chorus

Heal, heal, heal Nigeria

From the north wind to the delta water

Heal, heal, heal Nigeria

One hand, one heart, one tomorrow

Heal, heal, heal Nigeria

Broken borders but we stand like baobab

Post-Chorus

Omo naija, omo naija

Rise up, rise up

Omo naija, omo naija

We go make am

Bridge

Mama said the wound heals slow

But the scar just shows we know

How to love what tried to break us

How to dance despite the chaos

Na our own, na our own

This country na our home

Chorus

Heal, heal, heal Nigeria

From the north wind to the delta water

Heal, heal, heal Nigeria

One hand, one heart, one tomorrow

Heal, heal, heal Nigeria

Broken borders but we stand like baobab

Outro

Heal... heal... Nigeria

Heal... heal...
