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.
