In the early years, our poor pioneers
worked down by the riverside.
Drawn from many lands
with dreams in their hands
the values they gave us survive...
As four streams flow
to make one river grow
so we came together as one...
We live side by side
and share island wide
a style Singaporean.
Chorus:
This is our home, a home that's grown
from a little room
to a country of our own.
Now we welcome every one to see
Singapore — a city for the world...
We reach out our hands
to friends in far off lands
and bridge dividing streams.
Together we can build
a world which is filled
with hope of the Singapore dream.
( Chorus x 3 )
A nation's home that's safe and free...
a city for the world!
