Voice of Hope






A voice is crying out
Beyond walls and barriers,sounding loud
Deep in our hearts,motivating us
Giving us a re-think of our course
To a country so enmeshed in problems
Ruled by government deeply entrenched in corruption
When it seems we can no longer cope
Listen to the voice of hope
Calling out into every nook and cranny
Beyond social stratification,beyond ethnicity
Right into the ears of everyone living
Listen to the voice of hope
A journey so long
Challenges so strong
We can weather the storm
If only,we Listen to the voice of hope
They said we are sick
Our free fall at its peak
'Nigeria is gone' so they speak
These sayings would not matter with voice of hope

Though In the marshy waters of mediocrity is our education
Security for a while hanging on probation
We'll survive as a nation
as long as we,listen to the voice of hope

Poverty rules throughout the country
Pressing us down with its iron fist
Yard by yard making life hard,inch by inch not even cinch
Our 'messiah' is our voice of hope

Looking through the window pane
salvation would definitely come our way
sunshine beyond the rain
light at the end of the tunnel

but for how long will our bodies be pummeled?
we'll live to see the day
If only we give credence to the voice of hope.
