Prayuth Releases Another Patriotic Ballad

“I wrote it as a personal New Year present for the people,” Gen. Prayuth said at Government House, according to Prachachat. “In the lyrics, it doesn’t only mean me, but it means the media, too, because everyone is united and I have to please them. I use my every breath to help this country move forward.”







“Because You Are Thailand”

The life that I was born into, you are what I uphold
I love you and bond with you more than anything
Because you are Thailand
I will not let anyone destroy you

Life is not permanent, but the country must always live on
I want to see you recover and be bright again
As long as I still breathe, I will not be daunted by any obstacles

If there are only two hands and one soul
The power won’t be enough to make dreams come true
But if all of us join hands and souls
The day that we hope for won’t be too far for our Thailand

If there are only two hands and one soul
The power won’t be enough to make dreams come true
But if all of us join hands and souls
The day that we hope for won’t be too far for our Thailand
Stride toward a great hope
I will return happiness to all of you
