Five Stars Arising!

Chanced upon this blog from cousin so copied the lyrics over. I have long forgotten this song until I heard it before the fireworks display on Tuesday. The tune sounds familiar and realised its a long lost song since I last heard or sang it during my school days!!

Surprising I could still sing along then. Proved that nice songs will never be forgotten!

Five Stars Arising - 1988, music and lyrics by Lim Su Chong:
(Listen)

There's a new moon arising, out of the stormy sea
Youthful and bright and bearing hope, and tranquil as can be
Reach out for the moon above, savour freedom, truth and love
There's a new moon arising, out of the stormy sea

There are five stars arising, out of the stormy sea
Each is a lamp to guide our way; a lamp for all to see
Reach out for the stars above, savour freedom, truth and love
There are five stars arising, out of the stormy sea

There's a new flag arising, out of the stormy sea
Crimson as the blood of all mankind, yet white and pure and free
Reach out for the flag above, savour freedom, truth and love
There's a new flag arising, happy and proud are we
