Thank You, Our Founding Father
we have You
to thank
Your leadership will serve eternally as an emblem
for the younger generation
Your judicious governance
marked with democracy and equality
Your legacy evidenced by
our harmonious society
Your wise words
catalogued in chronology
we have You
to thank
with hands of an architect
and with the mind of an intellect
Singapore today
morphed from dust and clay
we have You
to thank
Your tenacity ignited
our mere red dot
giving it the intensity
and international significance
Your fortitude paved
a successful Singapore
In paying our respects
we will never forget;
we remember with Gratitude
an esteemed Man
we have You
to thank
Rest In Peace, Mr Lee Kuan Yew, Our Founding Father
