相信过去一两个星期,居住在新加坡的朋友们,在网络上、电视上、公共场所里,经常听到这首歌曲。
自1985年以来,新加坡几乎每年都会为8月9日国庆日创作一首歌曲,从最早的《Stand Up for Singapore》到今年的《The Road Ahead》。
其中有一首相信大家相当熟悉,陈洁仪的《家》《Home》。
今年的这首《The Road Ahead》,我们曾经组织在新加坡的小朋友们在新加坡眼视频号做线上合唱,不少读者表示很喜欢。
All it takes to set a wave in motion
Is a single word, an action
The change that we’ve been longing to see
For our home, our land, our family
It’s all within our reach
See this island, every grain of sand
Hear this anthem, it’s the voices of our friends
Come whatever on the road ahead
We did it before, and we’ll do it again
When the moments turn to hours
And the day’s last light is gone
Look around us always and remember
There were times we were uncertain
But we just kept walking on
It’s always darkest just before the dawn
See this island, every grain of sand
Hear this anthem, it’s the voices of our friends
Come whatever on the road ahead
We did it before, and we’ll do it again
Our home, the home we share
Where the garden always grows toward the light
Though the road ahead is daunting,
I know we’re gonna be alright
See this island, every grain of sand
Hear this anthem, it’s the voices of our friends
Come whatever on the road ahead
We did it before, and we’ll do it again
See this island, every grain of sand
Hear this anthem, it’s the voices of our friends
Come whatever on the road ahead
We did it before, and we’ll do it again
