still together

i pledge to nigeria my country

to be faithful

loyal and honest

to serve nigeria with all my strength

to defend her unity and uphold her honor and glory

so help me god

we remember independence

when out freedom we received

and the call to fight for unity

and the vision we believed

50 years have gone by quickly

years of laughter joy and pain

but our future is united

and the faith and hope remain

so we sing

still rising

still fighting

still moving

we rise when we fall

we're still standing tall

we will make it through the night

you and i

oh lord now

still rising

we are still fighting

still moving

we rise when we fall

we're still standing tall

we will make it through the night
