Our girls
I see hatred perhaps anger
Maybe lust in your eyes
Bring back our girls
We hear their silent cries
Bring back our girls
No bring back our women
Phenomenal ones at that
We don't want war or violence
We just want our girls back
We are endowed by certain
Unalienable rights
Such as a fair education
Being taught to read and to write
This is their only 'sin'
Their only 'flaw'
Taking what is offered
By the Constitutional law
Bring back our girls
Our Nigerian queens
Return them to their thrones
In their kingdom
In their homes
Don't misplace a hair
On any single head
Don't taint a single soul
Dont' ruin any pretty face
Don't do anything
But bring them home
