Details

Description

These are the original first two verses of Stand Up for Singapore in 1984. Subsequently, the song was reduced to consist only of verses 3, 4 and the final chorus and lyrics that referred to celebrating 25 years of nation building that were applicable in 1984 were rewritten.

The lyrics to these verses are:

In 25 years we've come so far
In building up this nation
People working hard have made us what we are
In just one generation
We owe a lot to Singapore
There's much we can be thankful for
But now's the time to give back something more
We've got to stand up, stand up for Singapore

Stand up for Singapore
Stand up everyone
Stand up for Singapore
We've only just begun
Remember what we had before
And look with pride to Singapore
But now's the time to give back something more
Stand up, stand up for Singapore
Stand up, stand up for Singapore
