National Day songs

It's National Day again (in 2 days time)!
Every year, we will have a new National Day song, but I find that my favourite song is still Count On Me Singapore. However, I only like the original version which was more melodic. Think the 1st MTV produced had many children holding candles, which I liked very much too.

Now, as I've grown up and know/understand our history better, it is really interesting to see how the songs have evolved. Count On Me Singapore was 1 of the early songs and talked about hope for the future of the nation and building it:

"We have a vision for tomorrow, just believe, just believe
We have a goal for Singapore, we can achieve, we can achieve..."

Then recently I keep humming We Are Singapore's starting line, which means so much now. It talks about how we managed to pull through difficult times and celebrates our freedom and success against all odds even though we are a small country, to be what we are today, having advanced so much in less than 50 years of independence:

"There was a time when people said
That Singapore won't make it, but we did..."

Nowadays it's all about "home" and "family".
