3 Singapore National Day Songs Written by Dick Lee

Dick Lee writes the best National Day Songs in Singapore. I don’t think anyone would disagree with this statement. Here are 3 songs with their lyrics.

Home (1998 and 2004) Performed by Kit Chan

Lyrics

Whenever I am feeling low,
I look around me and I know.
There's a place that will stay within me,
wherever I may choose to go.
I will always recall the city,
know every street and shore.
Sail down the river that brings us life,
winding through my Singapore...

CHORUS:
This is home truly,
where I know I must be.
Where my dreams wait for me,
where the river always flows.
This is home surely,
as my senses tell me.
This is where I won't be alone.
For this is where I know it's home.

Whenever there are troubles to go through,
we'll find a way to start anew.
There is comfort in the knowledge and home about its people too.
So we'll build our dreams together,
just like we've done before.
Just like the river that brings us life,
there will always be Singapore..

(Repeat chorus)

For this is where, I know I'm home...

We Will Get There (2002) Performed by Stefanie Sun

Lyrics

Remember the days, we set out together with faith?
Remember the times, so fine, when we thought that
Nothing could stand in our way?

Then things weren't the same, the life that we knew had to change
We've struggled through, the darkest storms
We thought we couldn't tame

Together we've tried, as we stood side by side
I knew we'd build a new world
A world of hope for ever after

Deep in my heart I just know
Right from the start, we will grow
Look where we are, we've come so far
And there's still a long, long way to go

With all of my heart, I will care
I'll play my part, I will share
With family and friends, together we'll stand
And in the end, hand in hand
We will get there

So now we begin, working together to win
Believing in trust, it must
Be possible to overcome anything

There's so much to do, there's so much we can contribute
By sharing just a little love
We will start again anew

So why don't we try? If we stand side by side
I know we'll build a new world
A world of hope for ever after

Deep in my heart I just know
Right from the start, we will grow
Look where we are, we've come so far
And there's still a long, long way to go

Our Singapore (2015) Performed by Dick Lee and JJ Lin

Lyrics

It isn't easy building something out of nothing
Especially when the road ahead's a rocky one
But if we gather all our courage and conviction
And hold our dream up high, the challenge will be won

So now we look around us and we see
A nation built with love by you and me
A land to treasure right to the core
Our home, our heart, our Singapore

Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Our home, our heart, our Singapore

Through many years gone by, we moved ahead together
We built a brave new world where we could shine and grow
And now we only have to look towards tomorrow
To carry on the dream as far as it will go

So now we look around us and we see
A nation built with love by you and me
A land to treasure right to the core
Our home, our heart, our Singapore

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Our home, our heart, our Singapore

And amazing as it seems
It all started with a dream
And our dreaming isn't done
'Cause the best is yet to come

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Our home, our heart, our Singapore

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Our home, our heart, our dreams
Our Singapore

Ooh Singapore
Ooh Singapore

Our Singapore

Happy listening!
