We endured the bad times and enjoyed the good
There were times when you were misunderstood
You took charge of a sick and tired Nation
You’re tireless work gave cause for inspiration
As leaders go you must rank amongst the best
Making tough decisions, sometimes hard to digest
You cannot please everyone in this life that’s for sure
But when sick you take medicine, swallow and endure
You’re steely determination and desire to succeed
Led a Nation to stand up for it’s self, never to cede
You’ve left a proud Nation, so strong people follow
By comparison, others find their legacy somewhat hollow
Now that you have left us and your soul does release
From a proud and grateful Nation, Rest In Peace
