The Girl with the Goalden Boot

Just finished watching an abridged version of Operation Unite (is that the right name?). Wonder where I can find an unedited version? But I was proud of Kit for opening the show (yay!) despite being shown half of Memory and none of the duet at all. And I was jealous of the pianist! Oh, how much I wanted to be Kit's accompanist - together on stage with her, with spotlights, thousands of eyes and all attention on us - even for just a few minutes...

Oh yeah, this is about the only thing I know about Singapore's National Day (because I'm only meant to know about Australia Day or Anzac Day!), so here goes:

Whenever I am feeling low
I look around me and I know
There's a place that will stay within me
Wherever I may choose to go
I will always recall the city
Know every street and shore
Sail down the river that brings us life
Winding through my Singapore

This is HOME, truly
Where I know I must be
Where my dreams wait for me
Where that river always flows
This is HOME, surely
As my senses tell me
This is where I won't be alone
For this is where I know it's HOME

When there are troubles to go through
We'll find a way to start anew
There is comfort in the knowledge
That HOME's about its people too
So we'll build our dreams together
Just like we've done before
Just like the river which brings us life
There'll always be Singapore

This is HOME, truly
Where I know I must be
Where my dreams wait for me
Where that river always flows
This is HOME, surely
As my senses tell me
This is where I won't be alone
For this is where I know it's HOME

This is HOME, truly
Where I know I must be
Where my dreams wait for me
Where that river always flows
This is HOME, surely
As my senses tell me
This is where I won't be alone
For this is where I know it's HOME
For this is where I know it's HOME
For this is where I know I'm HOME
