Things are happening everyday, everywhere
Brothers hurting each other

Killings here and there
I don′t even understand

No fear of God, trust is dead
Love is no where to be found anymore
Otoge, kaye fun ogun moriwa

My Country Home

Oh-oh-oh-oh

My country home, Nigeria
My fatherland where I was born
Whether I know it or not
The market is ours
But we are begging behind the fence
It is the work of the devil

The market is very rough
Everybody is struggling to survive
They are crying for help
Let us call on our elders
To not be put to shame

God Almighty
Please
Don't let us be disgraced

Ah
The powerful one who owns the earth
Deliver us from these troubles
From the hands of the evil ones

Don't let the gun hit us
Don't let the gun hit us in Nigeria
Don't let the gun hit us
Don't even let our own guns hurt us
Don't let the gun hit us
Deliver us from the war
You put us in this mess
Don't let the gun hit us

The power of man is not enough
All these troubles that are making me sad
Don't let the gun hit us
We are wise, we know what to do
But your glory is what we lean on

Don't let the gun hit us, let us not be hit today
Don't let the gun hit us
Our body and soul
Let us surrender to our creator
Ah, deliver us from the evil witch
We woke up with bullets on our bodies

Guns and swords
The evil ones are using them to terrorize us
Mark of our body
They have taken it from us
The situation of the country is shaking
Our love has grown cold
Don't you know who we are
Our creator wants to make us wise
Eh, let the war not consume us

You knew they were coming
And you let them attack us
Don't let the gun hit us
Your bag is small
But it contains the world
In this world
It cannot contain us, it's too small
The war is too much for us

Don't let the gun hit us, please
Don't let the gun hit us
Please
Don't let the gun hit us, please
Don't let the gun hit us

Many elders have died
The elders are sad, they are tired
What is happening? Things have gone bad
The ritual is no longer effective
Yeah
We are scattered everywhere

We don't know what to do anymore
And we don't even know what we are doing
He is the only one who knows
The blood of the elders is wasted
The children's future is bleak
Eh, our God please deliver us

The affairs of this country
We did not create it this way
You put it in our hands
Our hearts are heavy
Our bodies are weak
Let everyone know our pain

Deliver us from the war
That is destroying us
Father
Don't let the gun hit us
He who is at the back is hit
The innocent are also affected
Which war is this that is consuming us?
Our God please help us

Nigeria let us unite
Let us come together
To the presence of God and cry
Don't let the gun hit us
Don't even let the gun hit us please
Don't let the gun hit us

Things are happening everyday, everywhere
Brothers hurting each other

Killings here and there
I don′t even understand

No fear of God, trust is dead
Love is no where to be found anymore
Enough is enough, stop the killings!

Please don't let the gun hit us
Don′t let the gun hit us
Some want to challenge God
They don't want heaven, they don't want Earth
You want to wear trousers on top of shorts
On the day of judgement
You who do evil, you want to be God
Don't forget, your leader is coming

God deliver us
Our God deliver us
This Nigeria is a mess
From the war that is upon us
Deliver us from injustice, wickedness and hatred
Let there be peace and progress

The crossroads we are at God
Wants to unite us oh oh oh
Eh eh
Let war not consume us
