Shine Your Eyes [Intro] [Soft piano, distant talking drum] Eh... eh... eh... My people, my people... Election don come again o... Shine your eyes... shine your eyes... [Talking drum rolls, horns swell] [Verse 1] Na wetin you eat last na em dey eat you So think well before you cast your vote Suffer no dey tire us, we strong pass stone But this time, we no go vote alone We go look the leader wey know our road The one wey sabi village, wey carry our load No be the one wey dey fly aeroplane Na the one wey pass expressway, feel our pain [Chorus] [Full band, crowd response] Shine your eyes, my people! (Shine your eyes!) Vote wisely, my people! (Vote wisely!) The road to our village, e must reach The leader wey know us, na him we go vote Shine your eyes, my people! (Shine your eyes!) Our future dey your hand, no sell am for rice! [Post-Chorus] [Talking drum solo, vocal ad-libs] Eh-eh-eh, vote correct leader o Eh-eh-eh, leader wey go deliver o [Horns answer, crowd echoes] [Verse 2] Pray make your eyes open like morning sun See the one wey go fight till the work go finish We don wait too long for water and light Our children deserve better No be promise we want, na action we need Leader wey go plant seed, make food full village [Breakdown] [Stripped back — only piano and soft vocals] Suffer no dey tire you... Suffer no dey tire me... But together, we go rise... Together, we go see... [Emotional vocal run, then drums crash back in] [Final Chorus] [Key change up, full choir, horns blazing] Shine your eyes, my people! (Shine your eyes!) Vote wisely, my people! (Vote wisely!) The road to our village, e must reach The leader wey know us, na him we go vote Shine your eyes, my people! (Shine your eyes!) Nigeria go better, e go better for us! [Outro] [Talking drum fades, crowd chant continues] Vote... vote... vote correct leader... Our village... our road... our future... Eh... eh... eh... [Soft piano, final vocal whisper] Shine your eyes...
