Sarawak

Sarawak

As lions we came, but as cats we left

Here we are to meet the exciting native

Not an enemy, but sort of relative

Our lazy mind suddenly turned active



Sarawak

With natural wonders and mountains about

From the history, we learnt a lot

With the Saints, we exchanged our thoughts

For together we stood, divided we flopped



Sarawak

A land of beauty and culture

A land of history and wild adventure

Welcoming smiles met us right from the start

In body we arrived, but our hearts won't depart
