Full Text:
Let's do it again!
three African Cup of Nations trophies and 137 goals.
trumpets and drums, striking jerseys, Nigerians waving flags to Victory.
so let's do it again!
cheer to an eagle's flight and show of might,
in this game plate to the the rhythm of African drums,
connecting us by Common threads of dreams,
of passion, of heartbeat, of sunset across Green Field,
let's do it again, believe again, conquer the continent again!
Because e no get as he take heavy,
Naija they carry Last, body clock set to Raw believe.
let's do it again with a belief in the appetite of the game,
Beyond mending ethnic divide, you see this has history Frozen in the Brilliance of a Yakini strikes, in the gangling Gambit of kanu's game,
in the allure of an Okocha Midfield magic,
oh! let's do it again.
This history woven in sweet victories, this is now pulling us into reclamation.
Let's do it again!
in blood, green and grits. The Wonder of the New Generation Eagles,
who carry fire in their bones and compassion in their eyes,
Wey no fit Burn Out The Wonder of Youth,
The Wonder of a new age, a new age now searching for its own Glory,
the glory of a fourth run,
the Enchantment of a fourth title,
this is a reign of valor.
a beautiful story unfolding,
So let's do it again!
