We were conquered, battered, colonised
But our spirits never die
Thanks to the Almighty
Who gave us these trials
To make us strong
So that we are now independent
Courageous and ambitious
Asians we are and we possess the
Largest landmass in the world
Richest in resources and cultures
Together we wish to share
Them with the world in peace and harmony
In the name of the Almighty
We forgive and forget
For the trials and tribulations
Thrown at us ever since Columbus
Found his way round the world
So that we can be great in the
Eyes of God
