Shining star

Amidst the twist and turn of life

The tears that fell for fallen soldiers

The hurt and pain to run the race 

Where a few fell out of line

The urging within the core of each citizen 

To reach the top no matter what life throws

Helping mend the broken lives and

shaping the young minds of the nation

Has been tough by worth the effort shown by all

A nation that still stands like a rock

Never saying let's give up but did press on

Remains a brightly shining star in the sky

Telling the world that we have come this far stronger than before

United we stand as one nation

Our tears are but tears of joy

Hand in hand we march on 

Proudly saying thank God we are free
