這首振奮人心的歌曲是新加坡花菲衛理小學小六學生Jacob Neo創作的“Singapore, Unite as One”。
這首歌在2月份首次公布，是Jacob Neo”想鼓勵我們的醫護人員繼續挺進，並希望冠病病人加油，所有新加坡人團結一致！”而創作的歌曲。
近日，花菲衛理小學和中學向他們的學生發起邀請，呼籲學生們爲這首歌錄制一個片段。最終將收到的950多個來自小學和中學的學生、家長、教師以及校友的作品，制成MV。
Singapore, Unite as One Jacob Neo
You’re shut away,
you’re isolated Cut off,
from civilisation All alone,
with your hopes and dreams Shattered,
no longer free
But I want you to know that
you’re not alone
And I want you to feel that
you are at home
And the night looms the sun goes down
Day bleeds and light’s just a memory (memory)
The ‘crowns’ are invading us what can we do
This is agony… Yeah!
But we’ll be together through thick and the thin
As one country we’ll fight this virus and win
We’ll fight with our hearts and our minds and our souls
Protecting this island where we call our home
Fearful,
yet advancing
Fulfilling,
your duty and call
Knowing,
that there’s a purpose
Press on,
stand firm for all
But I want you to know that
you’re not alone
And I want you to feel that
you are at home
And the night looms the sun goes down
Day bleeds and light’s just a memory (memory)
The ‘crowns’ are invading us what can we do
This is agony… Yeah!
But we’ll be together through thick and the thin
As one country we’ll fight this virus and win
We’ll fight with our hearts and our minds and our souls
Protecting this island where we call our home
Singapore, we’ll stay together
Singapore, the time has come
Singapore, we’ll fight forever
Singapore, Unite as One!
Singapore, we’ll stay together
Singapore, the time has come
Singapore, we’ll fight forever
Singapore, Unite as One!
And the night looms the sun goes down
Day bleeds and light’s just a memory (memory)
The ‘crowns’ are invading us what can we do
This is agony… Yeah!
But we’ll be together through thick and the thin
As one country we’ll fight this virus and win
We’ll fight with our hearts and our minds and our souls
Protecting this island where we call our home
雖然Jacob Neo只是小六學生，沒有接受過任何正規的校外音樂教育，並且在2019年才在普通音樂課程(GMP)中第一次嘗試作曲，但他只用了兩天就完成了旋律和歌詞！並且歌詞中充滿了對醫務人員辛苦抗疫的感謝之情。
General Music Programme (GMP)
新加坡小學及中學的學生均可修讀普通音樂課程。它有助提高學生的整體教育素質，並有助培養學生成爲了解藝術的觀衆。通過創作音樂、唱歌和演奏樂器，學生學會以不同的方式創造性地表達自己。傾聽和欣賞的技巧使他們能夠在一生中對新的音樂做出反應並參與其中。
