Words For The Lost Soldiers: Isn't It Right?



...........ISN’T IT RIGHT...........
Oh! Lord, we ask that you bless,
 The soul of all those that had given their lives to protect us
We ask you comfort their home
Touch the lives that had loss “gem” in their family

There is nothing we could say to bring them back,
Only to keep them in our hearts,
Not as legends like others,
But as the greatest heroes known to mankind,
They signed to die for the protection of the citizenry
In a great nation like Nigeria,
I’ve never known a day set aside to celebrate these heroes,
To remember the “great legends” we had lost.

Believe me or not,
I cry deep down putting this together
To the bone;
The soldiers we had lost,
They are more than just heroes
“great legends”, I refer to the lost Nigerian soldiers.

Now! They are, as the greatest gift we shouldn’t lose.
My heart calls for a day set aside to keep them in remembrance

Isn’t it so right to celebrate our heroes?
Let’s stop calling only the activists, politicians’ legends
Because each day, we keep losing our heroes to the journey of no return
I am moved,
I am touched,
And I am motivated to keep remembering them

Only from a mere “beat” of music.
My Nigeria “heroes”
I love you
I have you close to the heart
I keep remembering you as long as I live
May the angels watch over you all.
