As he embarks on mission impossible As we anticipate the magic from the magician As we cast Goodluck away As we see the dawn of a new day We bend our heads to pray
The South South is wary The North ever so merry The West can’t possibly complain Perhaps the East feels the same
The rest of us Yes, we the Nigerians Not bound by ethnic chains Casted our votes in the same vain Make no mistake We are the future hope We, the Nigerians
The prayer we say Is that all his tricks hold sway And an applause at the end of the day
Muhammadu Buhari and Goodluck Jonathan
Because only destiny could have brought him all the way And this destiny cannot let him fail It will not It must not
Can the necrosis be greater than this? The pain is 10 out of 10 The acetaminophen giving temporary comfort We need complete excision of corruption Then healing can proceed
As my beloved teacher would stay Let’s drain the pus Let’s put good stuff in This is beyond science This is beyond good reasoning This is beyond good luck This is mission impossible
What can make the impossible possible?
Sincerity, honesty and dexterity Will, beyond our imagination At the right time in the right place Destiny, with God’s grace The seemingly impossible becomes possible
As we rejoice lets not forget The change we seek Yes, that change so sleek Starts with me and you!
Dedicated to Nigeria especially on her smooth transition process from one civilian government to a new one.
