Heaven rained tears of sorrow
From the early morn today in 2015
Mingling with tears falling from my eyes;
Tears and rains mixed as they fell
Cleansing the streets
At the funeral of Lee Kuan Yew,
Founder and Father of Singapore
And all Singaporeans,
Preparing for his procession
From Parliament House passing City Hall
Along the Padang to Trade Union House,
Through Bukit Merah, Queenstown, Commonwealth
Before reaching University Concert Centre at Kent Ridge.
Along the streets his beloved Singaporeans in millions await,
For whom he loves and gives his life, wisdom and all.
