Proud Keshorn-Keshorn, hero To­con­ian,

Bring­ing us fame, ho­n­our, a prize in gold

Out of hum­ble tri­als but a cham­pi­on

Burn­ing with pow­er through depths of your soul.

Un­con­quer­able in your quest for light

To show our prece­dents and na­ture's voice,

You have carved a niche in a world so bright,

Beck­on­ing your daunt­less spir­it of choice.

Now out of vil­lage yards and shores of sand

A gra­cious hero sailed out of the seas,

Windy on days and on wel­com­ing land

From where you laboured, sweat­ing in the breeze.

So world war­rior you are our star with song

In the midst of joy, glo­ry, one point three

Mil­lion of peo­ple in ado­ra­tion,

Of your hero­ic deed now cher­ished with glee.

Blessed Keshorn, tri­umphant pa­tri­ot of sport

Blaz­ing a trail to our faith and sup­port.
