Song Name: Miracles in Motion - Singapore SG60


In the hush before the dawn,
Footsteps echo hope begun—
From kampongs and muddy roads,
To horizons kissed by sun.
We are the heartbeat of a dream,
On this island, small but strong;
Sixty years, a legacy—
And together, we belong.

Beneath the Banyan and the Rain Tree shade,
Stories woven, every hardship braved.
Hands that build, and eyes that see,
A city born of unity.
Strangers once by the riverbanks,
Neighbours now—no need for thanks.
In every smile, a silent vow:
We rise, we rise, now and now.

From scarcity, we found creation,
From every loss, determination;
And in the chorus of our hearts,
The world hears us sing—
We are miracles in motion!

Oh, Singapore!
Sixty years, forever more—
Through trial and transformation,
Together we soar.
From the skyline’s blazing gleam
To the quiet roots unseen—
This is my home,
Where miracles convene.

Miracles in motion,
Momentum never ends—
With every dawn, a new beginning,
With every soul, a friend.

Faces many, flags as one,
Every faith beneath our sun.
Harmony, our guiding star,
Brings us closer, near and far.
Books and pencils, dreams to share,
Education’s open stair.
Every child, a story grows—
A future only Singapore knows.

Turning pages, building stages,
Changing history through the ages;
We are the vision yet to be,
Miracles in motion—see!

Oh, Singapore!
Sixty years, forever more—
We write our song in unity,
Resilient to our core.
From the gardens in the sky
To the wisdom that we ply—
This is our dream,
Where miracles never die.

Hear the laughter, taste the rain,
Shelters built against the pain.
From recycled streams to channeled seas,
Innovation’s gentle breeze.
Governed true with steady hand,
Merit shining, dreams unplanned.
We are the ones who dared to be
A beacon for humanity.

Every moment, every heartbeat—
Unity, the force beneath.
Raise your voices—sing, proclaim:
Singapore, the Miracle’s name!

Oh, Singapore! (Oh, Singapore!)
Sixty years, open doors—
With every age and every face
We become so much more.
From mudflats turned to steel and stone,
To every heart we call our own—
This is my home,
Miracles we have sown!

(Call) Who built these dreams?
(Response by choir) We built as one!
(Call) Who lights the way?
(Response) The Singaporean sun!
(Call) Who writes this song?
(Response) All voices strong!
(Lead) This is my home, the miracles live on—

Miracles in motion—
On and on and on…
Sixty years a miracle,
The journey’s just begun…
Singapore, my home—
Miracles in motion.

Forever in our hearts—
Singapore.
