Lyrics

[INTRO]
In the heart of Nigeria, where the sun sets so low
A legend has fallen, his legacy will forever glow
Muhammadu Buhari, a name etched in time
A lion heart that beat for Nigeria's rhyme

[VERSE 1]
Born in Daura, Katsina State, a man of noble birth
December 17, 1942, a date that will forever have its worth
He rose through the ranks, with discipline and might
A soldier, a leader, a symbol of Nigeria's fight

[CHORUS]
Rest in peace, lion heart, your legacy remains
A nation mourns, with tears and pains
You stood for order, for accountability too
Your mark on Nigeria, will forever shine through

[VERSE 2]
From military rule, to democratic reign
Two terms as president, with a vision to sustain
The fight against corruption, a crusade he did lead
A steadfast commitment, to Nigeria's creed

[CHORUS]
Rest in peace, lion heart, your legacy remains
A nation mourns, with tears and pains
You stood for order, for accountability too
Your mark on Nigeria, will forever shine through

[BRIDGE]
The Yoruba people, Progressives, Ronu, and BATISTs unite
To honor a man, who left a lasting light
His family announced, his passing away
In a London clinic, on a sorrowful day

[HOOK]
Lion heart, lion heart, a symbol of strength
Your legacy lives on, long after your departure's length

[VERSE 3]
July 13, 2025, a date that will be told
A day of mourning, for a nation that's grown old
The news spread like wildfire, a sorrowful refrain
Nigeria weeps, for its lion heart, in vain

[CHORUS]
Rest in peace, lion heart, your legacy remains
A nation mourns, with tears and pains
You stood for order, for accountability too
Your mark on Nigeria, will forever shine through

[OUTRO]
Your memory will live on, a guiding light
For future generations, on a darkest night
Muhammadu Buhari, a name that will forever be
A lion heart that beat, for Nigeria's destiny.
