The feet is ready
The heart is steady
The head is easy
The lips is wordy
The tongue is sorry
The eyes is merry
Arise oh, me!
Hear the sounds
Of the harmonica
Played beyond a flute
Arise oh, me!
Hear the call
Of unity beyond patriotic dignity
Arise oh, me!
Have Nigeria of our dreams
In reality and Alas! Today
Arise oh, me!
Call me Moremi
Aisha and Adaobi
To the moonlight game
To swirl their waist
To the love and rhythm
Of a New Nigeria
So, Arise oh, Me!
