    By Sam Ogabidu

    The beauty of a hill

    Is upon high places

    Tell it in Abuja

    Publish it in Lokoja

    Let the sons of Kogi rejoice

    Let the daughters of Ebira dance

    The role wandering in the land seeking a voice

    Has found a strong advocate in a daughter of service

    Let the doubters rest

    The battle for the new order has began

    Call out our sons from the trenches

    All ears must be open

    To hear and ask

    What role there is to play

    In the green sky hovering with hope

    The need to kill the quite desperation of the wicked

    Is a fire for all to kindle

    A call for all to heed

    A new dawn is in the crow

    Of the cock 

    The wind bears witness

    As the trees bow to let it pass

    Fresh is the spirit of the scented presence

    Of  the anointed daughter

    To legislate against the horns of poverty

    Stalking the land 

    When beauty meets brawn

    A fearless tigress is born

    And the scavengers

    Scamper in troops

    Make way for a daughter of grace 

    A queen of hearts is in the solemn assembly

    A child washed in the bowls

    Of paternal invocations

    She will speak in the language of love

    And the hearts of the people will quicken to life

    And they will lift up Natasha

    A memorial of service for the world to behold

    Something good has come out of Kogi

    Morning is yet in the pulse
