Cheers
(Dedication: For my homeland on SG50)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Here's to our fifty years
Of blood and sweat and tears
We've come so far this time
With work and awkward rhymes
We've work to live our dream
Yet paranoia schemes
We've got to where we are
Yet must still seize the stars
We've become a people
Yet must ever grumble
We've wrought some talent here
Yet must rise above peers
We've done all this and that
Yet must still hedge our bets
We've got the cheese and fries
Yet must grapple new tries
We've turned the corner now
Yet must seek new endow
Here's to even more thrills
Find fond flavours flood fill
We've got to go that way
To frame a better day
