Perfect Harmony

Clear your memory to forgive. How do you feel?
Now, harness that space to dream. Where are you?
Ibo lo wa?
I see children building one another,
sharing without restrictions,
free from false teachings.
free from false teachings.
I hear birds chirping, singing enchanting songs.
melodies too strong to be dulled,
sweet tunes of unity, and of hope.
I see the sun and the moon in perfect harmony.
Shut your eyes to see. What do you see?
Lock your ears to listen. What do you hear?
Clear your memory to forgive. How do you feel?
Now, harness that space to dream. Where are you?
Ina ku ke?
I hear voices of children playing,
no biases, only energy,
neutral to class, tribe and religion.
neutral to class, tribe and religion.
I hear birds chirping, singing enchanting songs.
melodies too strong to be dulled,
sweet tunes of unity, and of hope,
I see the sun and the moon in perfect harmony.
Shut your eyes to see. What do you see?
Seal your ears to listen. What do you hear?
Empty yourself of deceit, and sense first-hand.
Now, harness that space to dream. Where are you?
Ebee k'iịnọ?
Long live Nigeria!
