Merlion City 6
A FOND TRIBUTE:
(TO OUR OLD-GUARD LEADER)
Visionary leader who forged our way
In your twilight years kind humour attends
A little red-dot that works sanguine play
Once upon a time history did stray
A city state found dire straits in harsh trends
Visionary leader who forged our way
A man's decisive stance framed light of day
A vision aligned our bold action plans
A little red-dot that works sanguine play
It's easy to ask but so hard to pay
Our modern day culture defies intent
Visionary leader who forged our way
No one can truly understand your sway
Our stress and strain and ample discontent
A little red-dot that works sanguine play
A bright new team helms the future array
May fate be kind as we go round the bend
Visionary leader who forged our way
A little red-dot that works sanguine play
