More Than Survive
(to the tune of "I Will Survive")

Everyone could feel
The crash of currencies
The Asian Miracles of late
Were in a tragic state
It wasn’t just Malaysia’s fate
Our neighbours too were in a scrape
It wasn’t funny
In this recessed economy
With our backs against the wall
It was hard to smile
But some of us knew it was time
To walk that extra mile
We knew we couldn’t let things fail
Or get all panicky and pale
We’d have to come together fast
To pull ourselves up from the dust.
Go now go
Let’s go for more
Let’s turn around now
Let’s give our best and let it show
We’ll be the ones
To look the devil in the eye
No we won’t crumble
No we won’t lay down and die
In fact we’ll thrive
More than survive
Just as long as we know who we are
As a nation we will thrive
We’ve got plenty to be proud
Let’s shout it out aloud
Yes we’ll thrive – more than survive
Hey… hey
This will test the strength
Of our nationhood
We will see how far we’ve come
In times of not-so-good
How we share what we have got
Even it is not a lot
Malaysians sharing all the more
With not as much as once before
Yes let’s hold tight
To all we’ve built in time
Don’t let the petty insecurities
Destroy our minds
Lets be thankful for our land
And all the comforts close at hand
And remember times like these
Juts cannot bring us to our knees
Go now go
For more and more
Let’s turn around now
Let’s give our best and let it show
We’ll be the ones
To look the devil in the eye
No we won’t crumble
No we won’t lay down and die
In fact we’ll thrive
More than survive
Just as long as we know who we are
As a nation we will thrive
We’ve got plenty to be proud
Let’s all shout it out aloud
Yes we’ll thrive – more than survive
Hey … hey
(Chorus once more)
Yes we’ll thrive,
More than survive
Yes we’ll thrive.
