There are five stars arising, out of the stormy sea
Each is a lamp to guide our way; a lamp for all to see
Reach out for the stars above, savour freedom, truth and love
There are five stars arising, out of the stormy sea
There's a new flag arising, out of the stormy sea
Crimson as the blood of all mankind, yet white and pure and free
Reach out for the flag above, savour freedom, truth and love
There's a new flag arising, happy and proud are we
Standing at the roof top of the 50th storeys high HDB flat, I feel the success of my country. PSA, commercial buildings, Esplanade, high rise... I am proud.
But at the same time, I wonder why Singapore can be so successful but as her citizen, I failed. Does the country actually bother if her citizen is successful or not? Is the country only bother with how she outshines the neighbourhood and stand out differently in the eyes of the First World Countries?
