Vineyard

When I shout, 'Nigeria!'

I am not government-praising.

When I say, we have arrived,

It’s got nothing to do with politricks.

When I state how we survived,

I am talking the individual.

It is never about the government.

The people are a nation’s vineyard,

The greatest constitutions are unwritten.

Like the code syncing rhythms of our heartbeats,

Or the affection that unites a family.

We, the people, are the constitution.

We are the cause for celebration.
