I want to smile and laugh again
Like when I was a child

I want to drink clean pipe borne water again
I want to walk the streets of Bauchi and Yobe
And Adamawa without fears nor tears

I want to sleep with my both eyes closed again
I want to see my dreams come through..
I want to sing the song of our independence
Again and again and again

I want....
