Even as the sky opens up
No one is giving up
Not after what he had done for us
Old friend...
Young ones...
And our men in green pay their respects
Because he's more than a brother
He's worth waiting in the rain for
It rained in 1968.
2015. We stand strong.
Many insisted on waiting
Because it's only right for us to send him off
So take some time to grieve
But wipe away your tears Singaporeans
For we have to look for that rainbow
We will remember you

You live on forever in our hearts
We leave you with the words of Lee Kuan Yew:
“For the young, let me tell you the sky has turned brighter. There’s a glorious rainbow that beckons those with the spirit of adventure. And there are rich findings at the end of the rainbow. To the young and to the not-so-old, I say, look at that horizon, follow that rainbow, go ride it.”
