NDP 1997 - 05 Searching Day and Night

Track 5: Searching Day and Night
Singapore - National Day Parade 1997

"Act 1: We Celebrate Our Achievements
Pura tells the story of 5 mythical friends who, at the beginning of time, were looking for a place to call home. They landed on earth and started Searching Day and Night."

Lyrics:
We've got no place to go
The future we don't know
When will we find the new land
Where milk and honey flow
And winds of fortune blow
With shores of rich golden sand?
The search, it seems never ending
The burden never gets light
And broken hearts need a mending
Searching day and night!

Where, where are we going?
Who, who really cares?
We, we go a searching
Look, look here and there!
Time, time we are losing
Land, land we must find
Home, home for our future
Have our peace of mind!

We've got a place to go
Directions we will show
Up north, down south, there is land
Where milk and honey flow
East-west, the fortunes grow
On shores of rich golden sand!
The search, it comes to an ending
The burden's just getting light
On our people depending
Rejoicing day and night!

Where, where are you going?
What, what have you found?
I'm, I'm still a searching
Still looking around!
Time, time I am losing
Land, land I must find
Home, home for my future
Have my peace of mind!

Where, where are we going?
Who, who really cares?
We, we go a searching
Look, look here and there!
Time, time we are losing
Land, land we must find
Home, home for our people
Have our peace of mind!
