One - Singapore NDP song

Описание: This song, One, was put together for a SG50 (Singapore50) song writing competition called Gift Of Song by two friends, Ju-Lyn and Peng Suan, who wished to encourage reflection and positivity as our nation celebrates. It also brought together friends Peng Suan, Adeline and Dennis to form F3licity, a brand new band to perform the tune.

Inspiration behind the song: As Singapore turns 50, we celebrate our accomplishments and prepare ourselves to strive even harder for future progress… It is also timely to reflect and be mindful of what’s really important to us – as individuals and as a nation.

Fun facts about the recording: The original version of the song (link:    • One (SG50 Gift of Song entry) NDP song  ) was a home audio recording done using an iphone.

Lyrics

There are times
When things don't go the way
We want it to.
And we can’t think of how
We can make
Every dream come true.

Take a break,
Take a look,
Take a walk to explore
Your favourite places,
In between spaces,
Memory traces around Singapore.

With a change of pace,
To meet new faces,
To take the chances you’ve once ignored.
And you may find
That you can find a way
That you didn’t know before.

To watch the clouds
Against the sky,
They seem to say,
From way up high,
“Unhappy things will pass you by.”

And when it’s clear
That’s when we’ll see
All the things we care for
Are right where they should be.

We work hard,
In every regard,
We’ve achieved so much,
Have we grown apart?
Have we become too quick to judge?

Nobody’s perfect
In every respect.
Let us remember
To be kinder together,
And let us understand each other.

For we came together as one before,
To stand together forever more
As One Singapore.
As One Singapore.

To watch the clouds
Against the sky,
They seem to say,
From way up high,
“Unhappy things will pass you by.”

And when it’s clear
That’s when we’ll see
All the things we care for
Are right where they should be.

All the things we care for
Are right where they should be.

As long as we stand together as One Singapore.
One Singapore.
