Life looks so much better through your eyes
I see love through your eyes
A pure feeling of euphoria
The agape kind of love
The kind that defiles nature
A love that copulates with the earth
It births kindness, tenderness and warmth
A love that sails across oceans
An immortal love expressed by mortals
It brings out the best in you
It changes your perception
It goes beyond race and colour
Prejudices and religion
A love that unites the cords of discord
It changes a broken nation
Soothingly heals every wound
Erasing bad scars of the past
A love that challenges hate
A democratic love that shouts
With the voice of freedom and togetherness
I see the future through your eyes
A vast green land flowing with milk and honey
A land so fertile it impregnates the desert
Where the irony tree stands honourably
Where preserving of lives replaces massacre
Where education is readily available
A land of great intellects
Where the earth laughs and rejoices with it's produce
Where the spirit of our predecessors smile proudly
A land governed by a mother hen
A hen protectively shielding all her citizens
Where the law leads the leaders
Not the other way round
Where justice is driven by truth and honesty
Where every individual works for the good of the land
A place of equitable and fair distribution of wealth
A land where the dog befriends the cat genuinely
A land where brotherhood reigns supreme
I see a better future through your eyes
I foresee a better Nigeria through your eyes
