Singapore
By eastern shores, an island state;
A red dot small on the world map;
Work weaves a core to seal our fate;
We heed the call to bridge our gaps.
We greet the world with steadfast poise;
Align our hearts and minds to live;
Let focus swirl with steady choice;
Explore the art to serve and give.
There is a way to do what's right;
Live with spirit that forges proof;
Let peace portray a simple light;
Watch work and wit abide in truth.
Yes with one poise, we live and play;
Our women wear meek charming smiles;
Our children voice a sanguine say;
Ambition fares in brand new styles.
May all our dreams for Singapore
Bring fond blessings for one and all;
May cheery schemes bring joy galore;
May your passing bind big and small.
May all things good now happen here;
May we be strong when trials entwine;
May our true mood be one of cheer;
May anthem song rouse yours and mine!
May faith and hope steer lovely days;
May love help live your legacy;
Your foresight scopes our vibrant ways;
Your spirit lives in all we see.
Goodbye dear son of Singapore:
The way you paved brought us thus far;
Each dawn, the sun blesses our shores;
Rest with the brave fond sparkling stars.
