Because I keep silent, 
does not mean I’m blind. 
Just because I’m female, 
does not mean I’m weak. 
Just because I’m free, 
does not mean I don’t have my principles, 
my law, 
my war.

I am blind, YES! 
to power, 
to age, 
to status, 
and to wealth.  
I scale your sins to judge you for your wrongs, 
“I am weak.” 

Just because I do not don a cap and armor, 
doesn’t mean I’m not a soldier.  
So what if I’m not a soldier? 
I am a WARRIOR. 
I spelled it wrong but spelled it right— 
for I am worried for you all,  
for the evil that rules Nigeria,  
for the monsters that rise at night, tormenting the innocent.  

For the blood of the Righteous cries into my ears, 
for the prayers of those who say, “I am asleep.”  
No! I am AWAKE! Oh!! “Cry!”  
I hear them; their voices echo in the depths of my soul.

I will rise—but not today.  
And when I do, I'll come with an army of fire,  
a legion forged in fury and hope.  
We will wash this earth with lava, 
until no evil can live to torment the good.  

When I come, you WILL SEE—  
the strength of those who have suffered in silence,  
the power of voices long stifled but now roaring like thunder.  
You’ll witness the dawn breaking over a land reborn— 
a land where justice reigns and love is our shield.

So mark my words; this warrior’s heart beats strong. 
In the shadows where darkness creeps, I gather light— 
and when the time is right, we will rise together.  
With every tear shed and every battle fought, we will stand tall— 
united in purpose, unwavering in spirit.
