I sin siste singel - for øvrig den åttende singelen etter at generalen kapret makta i 2014 - viser den musikkglade diktatoren overraskende demokratiske takter.

Dreaming and waiting for a new day to arrive,
To engrave upon the pages of Thai history,
Towards democracy,
For all Thais.
A hope for a refreshed nation,
A hope for all Thais to be happy and content,
The hope in my heart, sent to every heart,
So we can all know that Thailand is never hopeless.
(Chorus) Thailand’s new day is coming to refresh our hearts,
Let us fix the disappointing past,
A day where we have to combine our powers,
Don’t let anyone come in and hurt Thailand.
(Refrain) Thailand’s new day will be bright and shining,
When all of us do our duties proudly,
This land, this home, we must love the country,
Keep it and conserve it, with all Thais’ hearts.
