NARM Anthem

Rise, Defend the People

Civic, Nonpartisan, Movement-Focused — the movement song of the National Assembly Rescue Movement, calling citizens to stand for truth, rescue the Assembly, and reclaim Nigeria.

Original NARM composition

This is an original composition — not a copyrighted melody.

Verse 1

From the chambers of our fathers,

Where the people placed their trust,

We have watched the walls grow weaker,

We have seen the hopes turn dust.

But a nation never dies

When her citizens arise —

We are standing now to answer to the call.

Chorus

Rise, defend the people,

Stand for truth again.

Rescue the Assembly,

Let justice reign.

Power to the people,

Courage to the brave —

NARM is the movement,

Nigeria we will save.

Verse 2

Not by fear and not by favour,

Not by godfathers' command,

But by citizens united

For the future of this land.

Let the Constitution guide us,

Let integrity abide —

We are marching now together side by side.

Chorus (Repeat)

Rise, defend the people,

Stand for truth again.

Rescue the Assembly,

Let justice reign.

Power to the people,

Courage to the brave —

NARM is the movement,

Nigeria we will save.

Outro

A new dawn is rising,

A new hope we claim —

NARM is the movement,

Nigeria we reclaim.
