  • A song that a nation chooses to sing and sing again through the years is proof that it has taken root as a song of its people, a national song. "Count On Me, Singapore" (1986) is the second of three Singapore national songs, alongside "Stand Up For Singapore" (1984) and "We are Singapore" (1987), introduced in the 1980s, which have since attained classic status among Singaporeans and remain beloved staples of what we now call National Day or NDP songs.
    No dream's too bold that we can't try for. As your national orchestra, the Singapore Symphony will do its part together with you, fellow Singaporeans - to show the world what Singapore can be. Count on me, Singapore! Happy 55th birthday! #TogetherStrongerSG
    This video will be featured in the digital SSO National Day Concert on Aug 15

    COUNT ON ME, SINGAPORE (1986)
    We have a vision for tomorrow, just believe.
    We have a goal for Singapore, we can achieve.
    You and me, we'll do our part, stand together, heart to heart.
    We're going to show the world what Singapore can be!
    We can achieve!
    There is something down the road that we can strive for.
    We are told no dream's too bold that we can't try for.
    There's a spirit in the air, it's a feeling we all share.
    We're going to build a better life, for you and me!
    We can achieve!
    Count on me Singapore, count on me to give my best and more.
    You and me, we'll do our part, stand together, heart to heart.
    We're going to show the world what Singapore can be!
    We can achieve!
    Chorus:
    Count on me, Singapore,
    Count on me to give my best and more,
    Count on me, Singapore.
    Together, Singapore!

    Every year this time I must hear 'count on me , Singapore' a permanent NDP top favourite. I would also remember our country founder Mr Lee Kuan Yew who set Singapore Merdeka(independant), stable, safe and strong. Wow... the Orchestra is great so is Mr Keng. Here 's wishing all True blue Singaporean who is born and bred here and others here .. a 'Happy National Day'. Signing out Singapore❤‍🩹 ..Till we meet again ..2025 !
