Nigerians Report Song of the Year: I Believe by Ego

Rise for you when you call on me
Do for you everything to uphold your glory
Fight for you with all the strength in me
Turn it all around and tell a better storyThat’s what I’ll do for you
That’s what I have to give you
Cos I believe in you
Don’t let them deceive you
We’re gonna make it >2x

Suffer and though it’s not in vainSmiling faces even though inside we’re hurting
I know you’ve been through so much pain
Feel for you so much love
And there is nothing I wouldn’t do for you
Cos I believe in you
I will serve you with all my heart
It’s true
We’re gonna make it >2x

Bridge
I believe in a greater tomorrow
I believe in a better today
Let’s look at all the sorrows
From those terrible yesterdays.

Rise for you when you call on me
Do for you everything to uphold your glory
Strive to be the best that I can be
Turn it all around and make history
Cos I believe in you
I will serve you with all my heart
I believe in you
I believe in you

There’s gonna be a better way >2x
If we just thought today we’re gonna make it
I believe…
Beautiful Zion

Don’t let anyone tell you
There are some things you can’t do
Just believe this way we’re gonna break it
