I salute you Hero of the new generation Baton carrier from our past Milestone in the growth of nation Fresh shadow that the world overcast I salute you Who gave a barefooted boy hope Promise that by ability I win When diligence expands the scope, You are the edge where dreams begin. I salute you, Mantle relinquished man, passing on In service to the nation expertise Around the bend you are still Don Great Olympian, your praise may never cease.
