This year’s NDP 2016 theme song hopes to encourage Singaporeans to have aspirations for the future and work together as one people to build a brighter future. The innovative and more advanced technique of filming the music video in a one-take concept, where the transitions will appear continuous, is a first for NDP’s theme song music video. This year, we feature more than 300 people from diverse backgrounds playing a part in making the music video a success, aligning to NDP 2016’s theme of a cohesive society coming together to build the future of Singapore.


LYRICS

[1st Verse]
Raise your head to the skies
This is how we all begin
See the fire in your eyes
Feel the yearning deep within

Take a leap and you will fly
With all the wishes that you own
Make your dreams light up the sky
Home is where you’re not alone

[Pre-Chorus]
And our hearts will beat together
Echoing what dreams may come
Walking tall in any weather
Time has come bang the drum
Cause tomorrow's here today

[Chorus]
Dream away
Take the world by the hand
Cause tomorrow's here today
Dream away
Come let's go right away
Cause tomorrow's here today

[2nd Verse]
Step into a brand new day
Tomorrow's calling out your name

When you know just who you are
You can't stop you are on fire
Looking up beyond the stars
Fly the flag and raise it higher

[Pre-Chorus]
And our hearts will beat together
Echoing what dreams may come
Walking tall in any weather
Time has come bang the drum
Cause tomorrow's here today

[Chorus]
Dream away
Take the world by the hand
Cause tomorrow's here today
Dream away
Come let's go right away
Cause tomorrow's here today

[Bridge]
When we run along
And we’re standing tall
When we sing our song
No way that we can fall

Be what we want to be
When we make our way
Till it’s plain to see
Tomorrow’s here today

[Chorus]
Yeah
Take the world by the hand
Cause tomorrow's here today
Yeah
Come let's go right away
Cause tomorrow's here today Show less
