Lyrics: There was a time when people said that Singapore won't make it, but we did There was a time when troubles seemed too much for us to take, but we did We built a nation, strong and free Reaching out together For peace and harmony Chorus 1: This is my country, this is my flag This is my future, this is my life This is my family, these are my friends We are Singapore, Singaporeans Singapore our homeland, it's here that we belong All of us united, one people marching on We've come so far together, our common destiny Singapore forever, a nation strong and free Repeat Chorus 1 Pledge: We the citizens of Singapore Pledge ourselves as one united people Regardless of race, language or religion To build a democratic society Based on justice and equality So as to achieve happiness Prosperity and progress for our nation Repeat Pledge Chorus 2: We are Singapore, we are Singapore We will stand together, hear the lion roar We are Singapore, we are Singapore We're a nation strong and free forevermore Repeat Chorus 2 Repeat Chorus 1 We are Singapore, Singaporeans
