Lyrics:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Whenever I am feeling low
I look around me and I know
There's a place that will stay within me
Wherever I may choose to go
I will always recall the city
Know every street and shore
Sail down the river which brings us life
Winding through my Singapore
Chorus:
This is home truly, where I know I must be
Where my dreams wait for me,
where that river always flows
This is home surely, as my senses tell me
This is where I won't be alone,
for this is where I know it's home
When there are troubles to go through
We'll find a way to start anew
There is comfort in the knowledge
That home's about its people too
So we'll build our dreams together
Just like we've done before
Just like the river which brings us life
There'll always be Singapore
( Repeat Chorus )
For this is where I know it's home
For this is where I know I'm home

@nnaaeee no bangala, who build our houses? do the dirty work? and labor?

from what i know its very likely that we wont do it, if they dont do it, who will?

[Drummer8nimation]

Note that it is Chen Wei Lian that is singing "As My senses tell me" Tells us we must think about what we have and make good use of them , not what we lack.

@tromboy seems the rap is unnecessary...

[DeathHunterization]

Being overseas for two years, serving my country, having signed on, I have no regrets. Every time I listen to this song, I feel a roll of patriotism roll through me. No, I have not been conned to doing so, I just love Singapore that much.

[strigon11]

@kyrosfoo Yeah, but Singapore did not progress much when it was with malaysia. The malaysians used the singaporean workers as laborers. The reason they joined us is to make us do their work so they won't have to. No longer. Singapore is much more successful now.
