Redemption Cry

[Intro]
Oh Nigeria…
My country, my home
How long will we cry?
Sunny Jay dey talk for the people…
Leaders, please listen…

[Verse 1]
Mama dey wake up with fear for her heart,
Papa dey struggle just to make a start,
Kidnapping everywhere, who go save us?
People dey sleep but their hearts no dey rest.
School graduate dey search for a job,
But opportunity scarce, everybody dey hustle,
Food don cost, rent don high,
Poor man dey wonder how tomorrow go survive.

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh leaders, hear the people cry,
We don't want promises, we want a better life.
Give us security, give us hope,
Make Nigeria stand again, make the people cope.

[Chorus]
Nigeria wake up, wake up,
Our people need love, need hope, need light.
Stop the kidnapping, stop the killing,
Let every Nigerian sleep peacefully tonight.
Nigeria wake up, wake up,
Poverty dey knock on every door.
Leaders, arise, hear our voices,
Make this country better than before.

[Verse 2]
Somebody lost a brother on the highway,
Somebody lost a mother yesterday,
Somebody's child no fit go school,
Because the money wey dem get no reach for food.
Young people full of talent and dreams,
But frustration dey tear them at the seams,
We don't want to run away from home,
We want a Nigeria where we can build our own.

[Bridge]
Give the youths a reason to believe,
Give the farmers security to plant and reap,
Give the workers dignity and pay,
Make justice speak for everybody every day.
No be fight we dey fight,
No be hatred we dey preach,
Na better Nigeria we dey seek,
Where the poor man too can breathe.

[Chorus]
Nigeria wake up, wake up,
Our people need love, need hope, need light.
Stop the kidnapping, stop the killing,
Let every Nigerian sleep peacefully tonight.
Nigeria wake up, wake up,
Poverty dey knock on every door.
Leaders, arise, hear our voices,
Make this country better than before.

[Outro]
Nigeria… we still believe in you.
From Lagos to Ebonyi,
From Kano to Rivers,
One people, one dream…
Leaders, remember the people.
Power is temporary,
But the lives you touch will remember you.
Nigeria wake up…
Nigeria rise again…
Sunny Jay… for the people.
