OUR CONVERSATION: 
DEAR SINGAPORE


Change follows heart and we must face harsh facts
Our conversation exposes real pains
We the people must forge our fate with tact


Understand the scenario to dare act
Look deeper still to work on ideas plain
Change follows heart and we must face harsh facts


Focus common agenda and enact
Walk a steady path to manage new gains
We the people must forge our fate with tact


We live with risk and earn what we attract
Struggle with issues, concerns and constraints
Change follows heart and we must face harsh facts


Conspire with purpose, spirit, trust and act
Seek opportunities to beat disdain
We the people must forge our fate with tact


To forge consensus is to live fond pact
Assurance comes from results we attain
Change follows heart and we must face harsh facts
We the people must forge our fate with tact
