I have seen a people beaten and battered
I have seen a people maimed and
maltreated
I have seen a people subdued and
slandered
And
I have seen a people rise above misery
and woe
I have seen a people blossom amidst
hardship untold
I have seen a people wax stronger as time
unfolds
Still
I have seen a people paint a lush future
from the sweat of hard work and labour
I have seen a people thrive in every land
their feet touches
I have seen a land of brave men and
women of valour
I have seen a people surmounting all the
sentiment and slushes
I have seen a land of resilient Heroes and
Heroines who under extreme conditions
just let out style and flavour.
The Land Of The Rising Sun!
