Lyrics:
There was a time when people said
that Singapore won't make it, but we did
There was a time when troubles seemed too much
for us to take, but we did
We built a nation, strong and free
Reaching out together
For peace and harmony
Chorus 1:
This is my country, this is my flag
This is my future, this is my life
This is my family, these are my friends
We are Singapore, Singaporeans
Singapore our homeland, it's here that we belong
All of us united, one people marching on
We've come so far together, our common destiny
Singapore forever, a nation strong and free
Repeat Chorus 1
Pledge:
We the citizens of Singapore
Pledge ourselves as one united people
Regardless of race, language or religion
To build a democratic society
Based on justice and equality
So as to achieve happiness
Prosperity and progress for our nation
Repeat Pledge
Chorus 2:
We are Singapore, we are Singapore
We will stand together, hear the lion roar
We are Singapore, we are Singapore
We're a nation strong and free forevermore
Repeat Chorus 2
Repeat Chorus 1
We are Singapore, Singaporeans

I was in Secondary one in 1987. Back then, we would be gathered in our school hall to practice NDP songs for our National Day celebrations. We were too cool to sing them and prefects had to make sure we sang them. Count on Me Singapore, We are Singapore and Stand Up for Singapore are memorable.

This is the song which introduces the iconic Singapore Pledge which all Singaporeans knows and recites til today
The most nostalgic NDP song. Flood back the memories of my Sec days. Assemble at the courtyard and sing with our hearts as everybody joined hands. Truly unforgetable.1992 ❤
Old NDP songs still the one that touch Singaporeans hearts. Majulah Singapura. Happy Birthday, Singapore.

Same , as this version represents the country of a nation. Also , 1987 was the year where our first Mass Rapid Transit lines [North South Line / East West Line] and the 66 First generation trains started operations.

The best NDP song hands down! The song Home can relax one corner... LOL... This song is so unique with the inclusion of the Spore's pledge....and the lyrics does really makes me feel as a Singaporean...😍 I miss this SINGAPORE! 😔
It was still the best NDP song so far. Did you all know the first few lines of lyrics was specifically written for one person? It literally has heart-stopping effect. Should be very easy guess.
literally weeping hearing this, miss the old sg.
I am from Malaysia. The past is always a good old days generally!! Simple and sweet!!!!! Smiling face. I am 53.
All of those people are now grown up. Time flies very fast.
My first NDP song learnt as a kid, in an era long gone where people smiled heartily and life was easy. Damn the internet and digital age!
Nostalgia 😭😭😭😭😭🇸🇬🇸🇬🇸🇬🇸🇬 our Singapore is the best, even when compared with (Norway, Germany, US, UK, Australia and Canada)
I am ten this year, and I love all the NDP Songs!

This could easily be something that could somehow be on Australian television after the news, or Clem Tholet’s Pro-Rhodesian songs. The Melody lends itself to that.
Hi, NDPeeps can you upload other old NDP videos, like Five Stars Arising and It's The Little Things,Singapore Town. Original version can't be found anywhere.
Singapore looks sooooooooooooo different last time
This was the period when things went wrong with our education mindset of most family. "You wanna stay under the sun or air con office". Which later became the stressful education for the future younger generation and low birth rate of the beginning. Now it is up to the younger generation to reverse it.
Can't believe this MV is 12 years older than me
The year that mrt opens.
Happy birthday Singapore
# old is good
I miss my friends! And my school BNPS that is no longer around…
im proud to be singaporean :>
10 years old watching this be like wow this is old and I'm learning this in school? ok
happy national day!
