1.History
Won’t forget
The leader
Under whose watch
Our daughters
Disappeared
NO!
2.The Commander
With his retinue
Keeps dancing around
Screaming ‘Power!’
With each shout
Bombs answer
Souls depart
Ashes fill our throats
3.How
Will history
Forget
The anguish
And pains
From Chibok,
The horror
Nigeria
Swallowed
The bitterness
We are reluctantly
Munching?
4.In the face
Of Power
We’ve become defenceless
We’ve become preys
We’ve become rubbles
We’ve become prisoners
We’ve become powerless!
5.Now
Its become
Countless days
Of swallowing lies
And false promises
And slanders,
Countless days
Of anguish
Still our plea remains
Bring Back Our Girls
6.To cry
For the rescue
Of our
Daughters
Now seems
A stale act,
We have
Moved on
We are
Moving on
7.How can
This liberation chant (#BBOG)
Become stale?
How can
Some of us
Keep hailing
A government
Failing?
8.Each
Chibok Girl
Bears
Our soul…
When they
Are defiled
We loose
Our collective
Honour
9.If our girls
Should perish
In bondage
Their spirits
Will haunt Nigeria
Forever
10.If our daughters
Should wither
In their chains
History
Will not forget
The watchmen
That failed
11.And history
Definitely won’t
Forget
The leader
That causes
Change
Returning our daughters
Wiping our
Tears
History
Won’t forget!
