Music and Lyrics by Don Richmond
Performed by 53A
This year’s NDP 2016 theme song hopes to encourage Singaporeans to have aspirations for the future and work together as one people to build a brighter future. The innovative and more advanced technique of filming the music video in a one-take concept, where the transitions will appear continuous, is a first for NDP’s theme song music video. This year, we feature more than 300 people from diverse backgrounds playing a part in making the music video a success, aligning to NDP 2016’s theme of a cohesive society coming together to build the future of Singapore.
LYRICS
[1st Verse]
Raise your head to the skies
This is how we all begin
See the fire in your eyes
Feel the yearning deep within
Take a leap and you will fly
With all the wishes that you own
Make your dreams light up the sky
Home is where you’re not alone
[Pre-Chorus]
And our hearts will beat together
Echoing what dreams may come
Walking tall in any weather
Time has come bang the drum
Cause tomorrow's here today
[Chorus]
Dream away
Take the world by the hand
Cause tomorrow's here today
Dream away
Come let's go right away
Cause tomorrow's here today
[2nd Verse]
Step into a brand new day
Tomorrow's calling out your name
When you know just who you are
You can't stop you are on fire
Looking up beyond the stars
Fly the flag and raise it higher
[Pre-Chorus]
And our hearts will beat together
Echoing what dreams may come
Walking tall in any weather
Time has come bang the drum
Cause tomorrow's here today
[Chorus]
Dream away
Take the world by the hand
Cause tomorrow's here today
Dream away
Come let's go right away
Cause tomorrow's here today
[Bridge]
When we run along
And we’re standing tall
When we sing our song
No way that we can fall
Be what we want to be
When we make our way
Till it’s plain to see
Tomorrow’s here today
[Chorus]
Yeah
Take the world by the hand
Cause tomorrow's here today
Yeah
Come let's go right away
Cause tomorrow's here today

but they're just going through the motions and mouthing the words. they dont actually have to sing cuz they coordinate their actions and mouthing of words according to the lyrics as the song plays while they film the vid

Serene Goh Of course, it's a music video, not a live performance, that's how they keep the audio consistent because it's close to impossible to remove extra noises and echo live. Still, it takes plenty of planning and rehearsing before they get the perfect shot, one screw-up and they have to re-shoot the entire video.

I still remember this was my favourite ndp song
During one of my school’s national day celebrations, I can remember and still hear the screams of the pupils in my school just screaming “CAUSE TOMMOROW’S HERE TODAY! DREEEAAAAMMM AWAYYYY! TAKE THE WORLD BY THE HAND, CAUSE TOMORROW’S HERE TODAY! DREEAAAMM AWAY! COME LET’S GO RIGHT AWAY, CAUSE TOMORROW’S HERE TODAY!” then the ooooooo was soft BAHAHHA-
Hmm.. this theme song's not bad actually. Still can't beat the ones from the old days, but this is still quite catchy and the unique elements of SG were shown creatively in this MV :-)

No is Singapore N.E show
well alot of teens say it sucks. I think for a Singapore standard it's pretty good. It manages to sound like an inspirational song, maybe not a Coldplay standard or any other artists but it definitely sounds good.

National day is coming
Randomly seeing this on recommended- reminds me of the days I spent toiling away during NDP rehearsals. Good old days man. Looking back, this was perhaps the most enjoyable (and least annoying?) of the NDP songs we could've had, especially when it looped all day.

Wow, they really did an amazing job this year! The music, the lyrics, and all the unique elements of Singapore over the past 51 years all make this a great song to celebrate SG51 with! Happy 51st Birthday Singapore!! :D

Good music, will never forget the country I am raised and received education in, too bad, Singapore is getting too expensive and stressful for me to consider to continue living here in future...
love this song
It's actually pretty good! Upbeat, groovy, something that you can bounce along to.
It's AMAZING!
Its as they say upbeat and cheerful, but sounds like any other pop song of the 21st century.
