*Title:* "Rise Up"
*Verse 1:*
Nigeria, oh Nigeria, land of our pride
Where the ancestors roam, and the youth reside
From Lagos to Abuja, from Kano to Port Harcourt too
We're a nation of entrepreneurs, with a spirit anew
*Chorus:*
But corruption's got us stuck, like a wheel in the mud
Insecurity's on the rise, our future's in a flood
We need change, we need justice, we need equality
Rise up, Nigeria, let's break the chains of poverty
*Verse 2:*
Our roads are broken, our schools are in disarray
Healthcare's a luxury, for those who can pay
The economy's struggling, the jobs are hard to find
But still, we persevere, with a heart and a mind
*Chorus:*
But corruption's got us stuck, like a wheel in the mud
Insecurity's on the rise, our future's in a flood
We need change, we need justice, we need equality
Rise up, Nigeria, let's break the chains of poverty
*Bridge:*
We need leaders who'll serve, not just themselves
Who'll put the people first, and bring wealth to the shelves
We need unity, we need peace, we need love
Let's rise above the hate, and rise above from above
*Chorus:*
Corruption's got us stuck, like a wheel in the mud
Insecurity's on the rise, our future's in a flood
We need change, we need justice, we need equality
Rise up, Nigeria, let's break the chains of poverty
*Outro:*
Nigeria, oh Nigeria, we believe in you
We'll rise up, we'll make a change, we'll see this through
With a voice, with a song, with a dance, with a fight
We'll shine our light, and make our nation bright.
