NDP 2011 Preview(Part 9)-"Act 4: Progress"(Part 2)[HD]

Act 4 also focuses on 'The Cube'.

Do take notice on 'The Cube' as it will keep on transforming and rotating as the stories within this act unfolds!

Story: Act 4 shows the progress of Singapore from the 1970s to the year 2000. This is done through the use of buildings, roads and vehicles through time. Act 4 also presents the growth of Son from childhood to adulthood. This is done through a video projected on the LED screen showcasing the highlights of his life. This Act showcases Singapore's spirit of innovation that carried us together in our journey from the Third World to the First.

Son grows up before our very eyes from a young child to a young adult doing National Service, graduating from university, and finally to a grown man, having a job and getting married. As he undergoes his rites of passage, Mother is always seen in the background, working hard and striving for better future.

As Son's birth represents the birth of Singapore, his growth and development represent Singapore's progress and development as a nation.

There is a Colour Parade sequence, showcasing the modern Singapore as a global hub, with all the vibrancy of a cosmopolitan city. The climax of Act 4 is an explosion of colours with balloons released into the sky, projections on opened umbrellas and giant inflatables at the Bay. The Marina Bay is finally complete and we celebrate the many years of economic progress and innovation that has brought Singapore this far.~End~

Also featuring in the this part of Act 4 will be this this year's NDP theme song, "In A Heartbeat"

Lyrics to "In A Heartbeat" :

I have a dream of starting a life
I have a hope, a flame alight
This is the moment, freedom is calling
This is my start, a new beginning

I have a heart, it beats for you
A step at a time, our spirits renew
Living together under the sun
Our hearts will beat as one

CHORUS

In a heartbeat, I'll be there for you
In a heartbeat, no one else will do
In a heartbeat, we will always be
Together, united; you and me

In a heartbeat, time has passed us by
In a heartbeat, we will reach the sky
In a heartbeat, this will always be
Our people, our country
This is our family.

We found a home on this land
This is the place where we can
We have a part, a role to play
It's time for us to stay

In a heartbeat, time has passed us by
In a heartbeat, we will reach the sky
In a heartbeat, this will always be
Our people, our country
This is our family.

BRIDGE

Nothing will stand in our way
We can be strong today
The flame is alive
This is our life

CHORUS

In a heartbeat, I'll be there for you
In a heartbeat, no one else will do
In a heartbeat, we will always be
Together, united; you and me

In a heartbeat, time has passed us by
In a heartbeat, we will reach the sky
In a heartbeat, this will always be
Our people, our country
This is our family.
