Tell me because I am from North
Tell me because I am from South
Either East or West
We are one
...
Venezuela, land of beauty and grace
Lies a city, a sacred and holy place
New Jerusalem, a sight to behold
A city of faith, a story to be told
...
Oh world bank...
Listen to our plea,
Don't lend a cent to the banana republic,
Let us explain to thee
...
Oh Stamford Bridge, once mighty and grand
Prince and pride of London
Now fallen, crumbled unto the sand
The virgins of London weeped,
...
The West has taken Africa by surprise,
With colonizing tactics, they did devise.
They came with promises of wealth and aid,
But soon their true intentions were laid.
...
Love is a seed, planted in our hearts
A tiny thing, but it can grow so large
With tender care and nurturing hands
It blossoms and thrives, spreading across lands
...
Oh Timothy, my dear son and faithful friend
I write to you, to shun fable on the altar
Preach the word, with courage and boldness
Which is a seed of salvation.
...
An ode to my bleeding heart
Oh bleeding heart, with every beat
You remind me what it means to feel
...
The pen gods, divine and wise,
With powers to immortalize,
With every stroke, a story unfolds,
And endless words, your grace beholds.
...
Love, how sweet and pure thou art
Thou hast captured my heart from the start
With every beat, I feel thy strong hold
Thou art the story my heart wants to unfold
...
Stained cross, with hues of red and gold
Your beauty lies in your imperfections
A symbol of sacrifice, a story told
Through centuries, your legacy still beckons
...
In the depths of a crimson riverbed
A sacred ritual is performed with grace
Where sinners seek to cleanse their souls misled
And find redemption in this sacred space.
...
Don't cry for me
For I have left this pain
My soul is now free
From this earthly chain
...
Rise, oh Africa rise!
From the ashes of the past,
Claim your place in the skies
And let your spirit last.
...
Oh sweet Sonita, maiden of charm and grace
With eyes that gleam like stars in darkest night
Thy voice, a melody that I can trace
And in my soul, it brings a wondrous light.
...
beautiful you were born, reflection of mine
Within your frame, a world divine
You show me the truth, both beauty and flaws
A mesmerizing sight, I could never pause.
...
Goodbye Yesterday, my old friend,
Our time together had ended.
Memories we shared, now just a blur,
As I bid you farewell, my heart aches for sure.
...
A wedding rose, so pure and white
On this special day, such a sight
Bathed in sunlight, shining bright
Love and happiness, in every petal's right
...
Steps and stones, a winding trail
Leading to the altar's veil
A journey filled with love and fear
As wedding challenges appear
...
Atheist, free and bold
Your faith lies not in a deity's hold
With reason and logic as your guide
You question beliefs and notions that hide

We Are One
Tell me because I am from North
Tell me because I am from South
Either East or West

Knit and sinew in one blood
What's wrong wrong with us.
Tell me because I am black as coal
Tell me because I am white as angel
Your smile, my smiles
Your pains are my agonies and sorrows.
What's wrong wrong with us.
Nigeria is our home
A sacred pledge we song
Good people, Good Nation

The alike
What's wrong wrong with us
All what we preachs
Love and Peace
Flows in like a morning breeze
Into our limbless heart

What's wrong wrong with us

Would you let me in?
Would you put me out as prey?
Freedom unto freedom
Arms in Arms, in one
Stretched out like a cloud.
We will dances the dirge songo
Tell me because I am from North
Tell me because I am from South
Either East or West

Knit and sinew in one blood.

The cock that crow was an egg
What make eyes to be red comes from the heart
He who pay the Piper should not quest for cure for a viper's venom
Human committed abomination because there is forgiveness
He who has an abundant should give a handful to the Orphan
You are of yourself the moment you try to being like others your failures will start.
For every tombs there are angels to roll away the stone
Its not all date that lead to an altar
Man who goes to the brothel cannot be innocent of accusations
White tooth does not determine a pure heart
One truth can end the years of lies
Truth is a light that can shone through the darkest path
Unforgiven spirit is the cancer to the heart
An evil days give no formal notice
Sin is a seed that await reaping
Truth is the secret for a successful relationship
Unrepented tempers are wildfire that consumed itself
Doubt is an enemies of faith moving mountains
Your success is your enemies greatest fear
Whenever I heard someone is dead I also want to hear the death that killed have been arrested and persecuted
It takes the spiritual authority to control spiritual things
You will not know how to fly if you are been pursued
Vanity is hidden in time
The long courtship it like a breakup affairs
Abomination await those looking for a chance to committed a taboo
Every hidden secrets have the hiding light for being expose
One true can destroy an empires of lies
There is no way you hates your neighbour that you had not hated yourself first e
Truth is a seed that does not decay
Don't leave a man of vision and married a man that have television. You will sit to watch the man of vision
How more beautiful a woman she is capable to tell a lie
Satisfaction doesn't quenched hunger
The cock that crowed was an egg
If my charger will not spoiled my phone will charge
The man who site on the fence close to the sky than a sluggard man
The golds are for everyone but it unveiled itself to those that searched for it
What will be a reward for servant that buried his talent?
Death and life are equal, to lives is to die
China is a libration movement of the world
There is nothing eyes has not seen, the foes behind won't harm
Where there is a light shall be arrived
Where there is light there will be a route that will reach home
Know your enemies is a secret tool to create success
It is a citizens that make a nation
The citizens are the wealth of the nation
The citizens are the treasure of the nation
Silence is my shield
