“Rise, O Sons and Daughters Divine”
Words by HRH John Babatunde Lee (Inspired by the Ancestors)
🎵 Verse 1
Rise, O sons and daughters divine,
From Nile to Volta, let us shine!
With drums of truth and horns of flame,
We call the world to know our name.
From sacred soil to starry skies,
Olodumare hears our cries.
The dawn is near, the past restored,
We stand as kings by spirit sworn!
🎵 Chorus
Olodumare! Reign in our land,
Guide our hearts with Your mighty hand.
Our souls united, proud and free—
Kingdom eternal, let it be!
We pledge with fire, we vow with grace,
To guard this holy, chosen place.
🎵 Verse 2
We are the heirs of ancient thrones,
Of Orunmila, Shaka’s bones.
From Timbuktu to sacred Ife,
Our roots run deep, our voices say:
“No longer broken, not in chains—
We walk in light, not in their names.”
The map may lie, but hearts are true—
The Kingdom lives in me and you!
🎵 Chorus
Olodumare! Reign in our land,
Guide our hearts with Your mighty hand.
Our souls united, proud and free—
Kingdom eternal, let it be!
We pledge with fire, we vow with grace,
To guard this holy, chosen place.
🎵 Final Line (All)
Olodumare, our crown and flame—
Forever we rise in Your name!
