The young shall grow Today’s children, are Tomorrow’s leaders Pupils’ today, are teachers’ tomorrow To be young today, is to be old tomorrow
For every Father, duties abound Duty to rear, duty to raise, Duty to teach, duty to train, Duty to bequeath, duty to bestow To their children, all to their children
From the south, up to the north The west, across to the east Weeping and wailing Mourning and moaning Sobbing and sorrowing Children of today, complaining, of their tomorrow
Nigeria has become, a father failed. A project botched, a dream forgone A tunnel end, with no light.
Children of today, complaining Of Nigeria, of tomorrow Years wasted Resources squandered Priorities misplaced Heritage lost
Alas, ready they seem Lessons they’ve learnt Hope they see Determined they are To correct Errors of the past To break Chains of poverty To revamp All that is dead To restore, The dignity lost To reclaim Legacy sold
