🎶 “WHEN A NATION CRIES” 🎶
Composed by Mikin Talented Revelation — “My heart bleeds for Nigeria”
Verse 1
Midnight echoes with silent screams
Broken hearts and shattered dreams
A mother waits by the door all night
Praying her child will see the light
Footsteps fading into the dark
Another name, another mark
How did we get to this place of pain?
Where tears fall down like endless rain
Pre-Chorus
We believed, we held on tight
But hope is fading out of sight
Tell me, who will hear our plea?
Who will set our people free?
Chorus
When a nation cries, does anybody care?
Can you feel the fear hanging in the air?
We are drowning in silent tears
Living every day with hidden fears
We don’t need promises anymore
We’ve heard it all before
All we want is life, is peace
Let this suffering finally cease
(Spoken softly)
This is Mikin Talented Revelation… my heart bleeds…
Verse 2
Empty classrooms, futures lost
Counting every painful cost
Dreams delayed, ambition gone
Tell me, how do we carry on?
The roads are filled with stories untold
Of hearts that broke, of dreams once bold
A land so rich, yet people fall
Can’t you hear the desperate call?
(Ad-lib / background)
Mikin Talented Revelation… crying for a nation…
Pre-Chorus
Voices shaking, spirits weak
Still we rise, still we speak
Not in hate, but in despair
Crying out for someone to care
Chorus
When a nation cries, does anybody care?
Can you feel the fear hanging in the air?
We are drowning in silent tears
Living every day with hidden fears
We don’t need promises anymore
We’ve heard it all before
All we want is life, is peace
Let this suffering finally cease
Bridge
If power listens, let it hear
The voices trembling in fear
This is more than words we say
This is life that slips away
We are not just numbers lost
We are souls that bear the cost
Hear us now, don’t turn away
Let there be a brighter day
(Spoken with emotion)
Mikin Talented Revelation…
I’m just a voice for the people…
Outro
When a nation cries…
Will you finally hear?
(Fading)
My heart bleeds for Nigeria…
