Every Singaporean Son

< Every Singaporean Son >

We were but strangers

Every single one of us

We were but strangers

Placed together from the start

We were but strangers

And no matter who we are

We were but strangers

In the shadows that we cast

You are my brothers

I take you as my flesh and blood

You are my brothers

We’ve been through rain and mud

Take care my brothers

As soldiers we are born to be

Take care my brothers

(I’m) proud to be in your company

For every Singaporean son

Must serve his term until he’s done

And every single breath he takes

Comes a bond which cannot break

We’ve been through lightning, rain and sun

Now we’re back to where we first begun

Through walls of fire we once run

Forget your friend, you know I can’t

So come today my friend

We are one as we were meant

And come today my friend

United we all stand

But gone today my friend

We know that we shall all part

But gone today my friend

You’re forever in my heart

For every Singaporean son

Must serve his term until he’s done

And every single breath he takes

Comes a bond which cannot break

We’ve been through lightning, rain and sun

Now we’re back to where we first begun

Through walls of fire we once run

Forget your friend, you know I can’t

Through the years we have realized

Why we fought those battles deep inside

Let the world hear our stories

That we wrote with pride and glory

For every Singaporean son

Must serve his term until he’s done

And every single breath he takes

Comes a bond which cannot break

We’ve been through lightning, rain and sun

Now we’re back to where we first begun

Through walls of fire we once run

Forget your friend, you know I can’t
