WE! WE! Things (for NYSC)




WE! WE! Things (for NYSC)

 














The kit is like wing
Treated me like I dropped down from heaven
Through the village in my seven-over-seven
The wear that has known many cheers
I smile returned the greetings,
was soothing, panacea to my fears

Impression is lasting, Open arms is be-fitting
A west blood on the street in east, all for Service
Too many doors to open, oneness is the key
Practice how I preach it, I soak myself in service

Uniform is lined with sacrificing
Service to responsibility, clarion duty

With Sentiments trapped by Reasons
And Truancy drowning in Maturity

The corps as I see it, is the bricks to build it
So lift it, cast the doubt, get your gear into it
Wear your strength like shirt,
and soak your shirt with sweat
Be true to the pledge,
till your dust hit the earth

Blind to the money,
I lost sight of the prizes
We for us, on the race to find me,
I lost myself to service

Me among my people that's how I see it
CD till I, add honour to my CV

CD till I, add honour to my CV
Unity! Till I have the community a family
CD till I, add honour to my CV
Unity! Till WE have the country a community

Peace!
Peace!
