like a lion in the battlefield

You fought for millions of captives to be liberated

You fought for what you strongly believe in

You never gave up in the course for freedom

you are the hero of my heart

Horridly they came in thousands of jackboot marching forward with Armour and riffles to snap thee from the comfort of thy rubbles, yet like the unarmed thumb, you stood so firm.

In the conviction of thy belief

You fought against discrimination and marginalization

You believe in freedom because you know what it means to be a free man.

you are the hero of my heart

In thy battle for liberation, we acknowledge thee

For the love of humanity and Biafra

We acknowledge thee.

you fought for the liberation

Of the poor and rich, young and old,

You believe in the language of freedom

you are the hero of my heart

Blooded but never bowed, you gave all that you have for the sake of love

You never judged the very course which took all from you

A selfless hero you are, a man of integrity, full of humour

You are gone but your memories live on with us for eternity.

you are the hero of my heart

On the verge for freedom, we beseech thy blueprint

And never to forget thy footprint.

Freedom and liberation we must conquer for a peaceful ending.

Tagged no victor no vanquish but a hero you are.

you are the hero of my heart
