A heartfelt tribute song written by singer/songwriter Bernard Dinata on the occasion of Singapore's 55th birthday and his personal reflection of what it means to identify with and connect with this land in heart, spirit and emotions. Being away for four years overseas to further his studies after serving his National Service, Bernard had to overcome bouts of homesickness - missing family, friends and of course, the local food. Returning home in June 2020 and experiencing first-hand the stark contrast in how different countries approached the Covid-19 crisis, it cemented his faith and belief that Singapore has what it takes to be a one united & caring people to carry this nation through these tough times.
This song is to inspire everyone with the message: "Stay strong, Singapore! We will overcome!"
Song lyrics:
Verse 1
i’ll be the first
To stand up and say
All of the reasons I could be
this person today
Verse 2
I love how the seasons
change by the way
we choose the weather, we fight through the storm
and I still feel the same
PC1
Safe when I fall
loved through it All
a place I can call my own
Chorus 1
This is my only home
This is where I belong
I’ll never let go
i’m never alone
Now that I know
This is my only home
Post Chorus
Oooooh oooooh this is my only home x2
Verse 3
It runs through my veins
a love you can’t see
but just like the wind I can tell you its real
And means something to me
PC2
Safe when I fall
loved through it All
a place I can call my own
Chorus 2
This is my only home
This is where I belong
I’ll never let go
i’m never alone
Now that I know
This is my only home
Post Chorus 2
Oooooh oooooh this is my only home x2
Chorus 3 (soft to build up)
This is my only home
This is where I belong
I’ll never let go
i’m never alone
Now that I know
This is my only home
Chorus 4
This is my only home
This is where I belong
I’ll never let go
i’m never alone
Now that I know
This is my only home
Final Post Chorus
Oooooh oooooh this is my only home x2
