In tears and blood we slept
Trying to do our best
Cheated by the rest
Until we found a friend
Who knew beyond our best
Who stood to face the threat
Whose dead is made our wealth
Great Ogoni GreatHe stood to pay the price
The great sacrifice
He led Ogoni 9
On that November 10th
His words remain our guide
His course we ll stand to fight
He taught us how to say
Ogoni Must SurviveTo him I dedicate
This message I propagate
But God be glorified
Because he is on our side
If God be on our side
Who else can terrify
With smiles we shall declare
