There’s a gift I’d like to give you
That can’t be bought or sold
A ray of sunshine across the waters
That comes straight from the soul
Let us join our hands together
To bind the colours of our skin
A rainbow under GOD’s Great heaven
A sign that love will always win
One thousand million smiles
I bring toy across the miles
In my land of sunshine
Or in your land of snow
Makes no difference where you are
If you let your feeling show
One thousand million ways
To love each other every day
For the poet and the old man
For the mother and the child
These One thousand million smiles
If the world is full of sorrow
Then what’s the meaning of life
If war’s the master of the house
And hunger is his wife ooo…
But a shining bridge of lovin' smiles
And tender helping hands
Will bind all men on earth together
And will forever stand
So here! Stand with heart in hand
I bring this gift from my homeland
So take these smiles and sweets hellos
Keep then in your heart where ever you may go
Watched it live during my secondary school. His performance really stunned me that time! Before this I thought the famous Leslie Cheong will win. But Sudirman did it beyond everyone expectations. After 30 years I listened back. The first time I listen, my tears rolling down my cheek. The song is so beautifully and powerfully designed and composed. The lyrics is so touching! When it was performed by Sudiman nice and full of emotional voice, it made the best epic musical work! Thanks Sudirman! God bless you! May you rest in peace and joy in the glory of the Mother Nature!
