Arise and soar like an eagle
Against all odds arise
Spread your wings and dump your doubts and fears
Break through horizon and soar coast to coast
Glide with hope in sight
Fly against the stormy winds
Breaking strides you're the best of our kind
Rule your world with pride
That's why you are a Nigerian
I breathe the breath of hope, no I can't give up
If these wings ever fail o God be my guide
I'm a soldier, a hero, a champion I'll keep the faith to the fort
Peace be still till I shore Nigeria the great
I rule my world with pride
That's why I am a Nigerian
Arise and soar like an eagle
Against all odds we rise
Spread our wings and dump our doubts and fears
Break through horizon and soar coast to coast
Glide with hope in sight
Fly against all winds
Breaking strides we're the best of our kind
Rule our world with pride
That's why we are a Nigerian
