ROTARY — MY SONG

Composed by CP Wei Wong
Lyrics by PDFL Mrs Sally Lim

Sing sing a song for Rotary
For love, hope and charity
Spin the Wheel of Rotary
For peace and harmony

Saving lives, touching lives
Through Rotary, for Rotary

Share share the magic of Rotary
For fellowship happily
Stay Rotarians in unity
For the good of humanity

Fly fly the flag of Rotary
For our district, proudly
Live the dreams of Rotary
Service Above Self truly

Fly fly the flag of Rotary
For our district, proudly
Live the dreams of Rotary
Service Above Self truly

Saving lives, touching lives
Through Rotary, for Rotary
Through Rotary, for Rotary

The Gift

The Gift A mighty sculpture in a gold, blue sky
In the cold and misty dawn, beautiful beyond wonder
Mt. Kinabalu breathes courage into distant souls; “come…!”
“Walk, run, climb, soar, but come! And thy hearts will live on my peaks forever.”

A man must write his own history
And with him Man’s own destiny
Kinabalu wakes a tired lover’s heart, burning a warrior’s soul anew
Making every step a joy, every pain a luxury
For which man would cherish, a prize that comes easy?

Oft a child is born, with a cry and a smile never been
And with him, a bounty of joys; love, hugs and kisses
And with him hope; a mountain of promises, an ocean of treasure
Yet, what greater present exists, than the present he holds; the gift of giving?
The gift of selfless giving, “Service above Self.”

The friendship of Rotary embraced him like a miracle
And like the mighty Kinabalu, his kind being grew strong, and stood tall
To follow a calling, to lead the call
That truly, life is too short to be little
To be all he can be; to ‘Be a gift to the world.’
