Blessed
are you
With tender feet
Fresh as dew
Whose skin so supple
And eyes so gentle
Melt our hearts
And our skin, warm
Whose purity
With innocent
mischief
Our lips shape
With crescent smiles
With laughter
How fast
They grow
How intelligence
They show
Footprints of a great
lineage
Footprints of a great
heritage
Footprints of Great
Ibom
Footprints of Nigeria
Blessed are you
O Akwa Ibom
With a king
A true man of faith
Whose voice
Like clashing of
waves
Shows us
How to rise
Whose prints
Are marked
Here on this soil
Leading us to
greatness
Blessed are you
With a queen
A beacon of hope
Who, like the rising
sun
Lights up our
world
Blessed are you
Akwa Ibom nnyin
With a people
Intelligent, loving,
kind, innovative
Saying no to
cowardice
Striving for
greatness
Living for the now
Living for tomorrow
Living up to the
greatness of Ibom
A people with one
parentage
One heritage
Who love to toil
On the same soil
Land of living
legends
Like Obong Victor
Attah
And God’s will
Akpabio
Land rich in
diversity
How proud are we
To call you mother
For in your beauty
and wealth
You reign
Mother of all kinds
Mother of legends
Past, present,
tomorrow!
Long shall you live
Long shall we call
you mother
Akwa Ibom
Land of our parentage
Land of our heritage.
