Uh…
In the middle of the trial,
we find a place to laugh
In the heart of wicked
justice, we've forged ahead to grow
Bumpy
roads and darkened homelands don' t kill our
will you know; Still we gotta go.
II
When the road that stands before you,
looks like it never ends
When the fire would devour
you, or so it seems my friend,
Well the more you
sing, the more you, will make that trouble bend
Sing and let it end
(I am glad)
Glad to walk the earth
(I am glad) That I was born a Nigerian
(I am glad) Glad to be alive
Glad that I was born
(I am glad) Oh I am happy
(I am glad) To be a part of destiny
(I am glad) Glad to walk the earth
Glad that I was born
III
In the absence of a visa,
With nowhere left to go
We must stay and build up this
our illustrious land of gold
Happily with hearts
of bliss as we work it yes we know
Oh we' ll
let it grow (oh yes)
(I am glad) Glad to walk the earth
(I am glad) That I was born a Nigerian
(I am glad) Glad to be alive
Glad that I was born
(I am glad) Oh I am happy
(I am glad) To be a part of destiny
(I am glad) Glad to walk the earth
Glad that I was born
Bridge (2ce)
There' s a place inside the dreamer
That is reaching for the stars
If I could only fly
I'd make it up high
I'll make it to the sky
Oh I am happy, yes I am
(I am glad, I am glad)
Oh I am glad to be alive
(I am glad, I am glad)
If I could only fly,
I'd make it up high
I'll make it to the sky
Oh I am happy, yes I am
(I am glad, I am glad)
Glad to be alive (I am glad, I am glad)
If I could only fly,
I'd make it up high
I'll make it to the sky
Glad to be alive (I am glad, I am glad)
Glad that I was born (I glad, I am glad)
If I could only fly
I'd make it up high
I'll make it to the sky…
