NDP 2011 Preview(Part 5)-"Act 2: Birth"(Part 2)[HD]

From Act 2 onwards, the focus will be all 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 2 begins with a procession of the different cultural influences on Singapore. Each culture brings to Singapore its own unique culture and identity. The choreographed dance symbolizes the integration of these different cultures in Singapore, representing Singapore's colourful past and a harbinger of our present multicultural reality. Finally, everyone comes together in this fusion segment, representing how the different races live side by side peacefully in Singapore, an important aspect of the Singapore spirit.

There will be a Fabric Dance sequence where large and billowing fabric sets Singapore in the year 1965 -- the year of Independence. It is a time of struggle and uncertainty. It is a time of determination for the pioneering generation of Singaporeans. The young women, led by Mother, represent the first generation of Singaporeans who braved through these turbulent times in order to build a home for themselves and their families in Singapore.

The birth of Son represents the birth of Singapore -- an important connection as the musical will trace the journey of Son to the present day. A mother's struggle to give birth mirrors a nation's struggle for independence. Ultimately birth is a symbol of a new beginning.~End~

Also featuring in the this part of Act 2 will be 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.
