Omo wetin dey happen God gave us oil in the delta Water for benue and niger Mineral resources all over And he called us Nigeria We have no natural disaster Na we dey cause kata kata We come dey fall asunder E dey make me dey wonder why We are so bright, bi itun lili Still we got no unity We are so wide, bi oju orun o, So why So why can't we see God never forsake us But we forsake ourselves Heaven just wants to help us But we must help ourselves So why Can't we even try To live in U.N.I.T.Y Its up to you and I We have survived military suppression Not to mention the oppression of the mind See all of this pretension and descension From Africa's center of attention Now that we have our freedom We throw away all our wisdom In the name of religion and politics What is this Now we fighting in Jos Killing one another no remorse Stuck like traffic in Lagos Tell you what this means We gotta move forward Cos we behind in this race course We are so bright, bi itun lili Still we got no unity Tell me why We are so wide, bi oju orun o, tell me why So why can't we see God never forsake us But we forsake ourselves Heaven just wants to help us But we must help ourselves So why Can't we even try To live in U.N.I.T.Y Its up to you and I So tell me tell me why Can't we even try To live in U.N.I.T.Y Its up to you and I When I go over to the east they say Chukwu gozie gi ah gozie gi When I go over to the west they say Oluwa yo bukun o My calabar brother say Abasi oyong fi My hausa people say Allah ba kalaba What's the use of blessing one another If we keep fighting one another And killing each other Oh why We are so bright, bi itun lili Still we got no unity We are so wide, bi oju orun o So why can't we see God never forsakes us But we forsakes ourselves Heaven just wants to help us But we must help ourselves We are so bright, bi itun lili Still we got no unity We are so wide, bi oju orun o So why can't we see God never forsake us But we forsake ourselves Heaven just wants to help us But we must help ourselves So why Can't we even try To live in U.N.I.T.Y Its up to you and I So tell me why Can't we even try To live in U.N.I.T.Y Its up to you and I ×2 Oh yeah Why why why why why We can try try try try try Its up to you and I
