His heart bled
He wanted to be free
He wanted freedom for his people
Not only for himself
Sufferings of the common man
That's what he shared
He said, "Africa has come of age
And we must speak for ourselves"
And these are words that will not die
Words that do not speak lies
Words that will not waste
Words that will not put our people to shame
Murtala Muhammad was his name
Nigeria is from where he came
Muhammad is dead but his soul lives on
His soul lives on
Murtala is gone but his words live on
His words live on
And these are words that will not die
Words that do not speak lies
Words that will not waste
Words that will not put our people to shame
