There's a little blue gem in the Milky Way
Home to countless people sharing the land
They're fretting and they're sweating as they toil away
To reach whatever heights they can

A tapestry of faiths and traditions, too
Their speech, their ways, they thrive
Peace and plenty reign, forever new
Where love and trust are brought to life

When does chaos win out
And the tempest arise
The question of our time
In fear, in rancor, and in doubt
The downfall of a nation lies

Shining star amid the Straits
A vision such as none before
Hope conceives, and we create
Beloved, dynamic, united
Singapore

Now, our elders made it through the very worst of days
Days of bitter loss and sorrow
Remember, friend, remember the way
We honor those of long ago

Can you see a neighbor's face with your purest heart
And greet him from that very spring
Specters of the deepest wounds depart
When there's a greater spirit on the wing

When does chaos win out
And the tempest arise
The question of our time
In fear, in rancor, and in doubt
The downfall of a nation lies

Shining star amid the Straits
A vision such as none before
Hope conceives, and we create
Beloved, dynamic, united
Singapore

Lovers of a Garden made up of us all
Of every creed and origin born
Let's do it now, let's make a vow
Say no to snub and no to scorn

Take no part in slights, whether small or great
In insult, or in cause for tears
Say no to children learning hate
Let's bring the word and bring it clear

Shining star amid the Straits
A vision such as none before
Hope conceives, and we create
Beloved, dynamic, united
Singapore

Shining star amid the Straits
A vision such as none before
Hope conceives, and we create
Beloved, dynamic, united
Singapore
