I Am Glad

In the middle of the trial
We find a place to laugh
In the heart of wicked justice
We've forged ahead to grow
Bumpy roads and darkened homelands
Don't kill our will you know
Still we gotta go

When the road that stands before you
Looks like it never ends
When the fire would devour you, or so it seems my friend
Well the more you sing
The more you will make that trouble bend
Sing and let it end, oh yeah

(I am glad) glad to walk the earth
(I am glad) that I was born a Nigerian
(I am glad) glad to be alive
Glad that I was born
(I am glad) oh I am happy
(I am glad) to be a part of destiny
(I am glad) glad to walk the earth
Glad that I was born, oh yeah

In the absence of a visa
With nowhere left to go
We must stay and build up this
Our illustrious land of gold
Happily with hearts
Of bliss as we work it yes we know
Oh we'll let it grow, oh yes

(I am glad) glad to walk the earth
(I am glad) that I was born a Nigerian
(I am glad) glad to be alive
Glad that I was born
(I am glad) oh I am happy
(I am glad) to be a part of destiny
(I am glad) glad to walk the earth
Glad that I was born, oh yeah

There's a place inside the dreamer
That is reaching for the stars
If I could only fly
I'd make it up high
I'll make it to the sky
There's a place inside the dreamer
That is reaching for the stars
If I could only fly
I'd make it up high
I'll make it to the sky

I am glad, I am glad (I'm happy yes I am)
I am glad, I am glad (glad to be alive)
If I could only fly
I'd make it up high
I'll make it to the sky

I am glad, I am glad (oh, I am happy, yes I am)
I am glad, I am glad (I am happy to be alive)
If I could only fly
I'd make it up high
I'll make it to the sky

I am glad, I am glad (glad to be alive)
I am glad, I am glad (glad I was born)
If I could only fly
I'd make it up high
I'll make it to the sky

I am glad, I am glad (blessed to be alive)
I am glad, I am glad
If I could only fly
I'd make it up high
I'll make it to the sky
