'Spirit Of Our Fathers'
Music & Lyrics by Alvin Oon

 

Long time ago, they came afar to where we are

Chasing a dream, as they sailed among the stars

Looking for a brand new life to start, hope in their hearts

 

Reaching a land that they came to call their home

Finding new light with the future left unknown

Planting seeds and hoping it will grow, and now we know

 

Chorus:

In the spirit of our fathers

The legacy lives on    

The seeds of hope have grown

To a wonder that is known

It’s where we all belong

In the spirit of our fathers

Make a difference to the land

And with our fellow men 

The future’s in our hands

Let’s keep the spirit strong

 

Growing the land as they lived from day to day

Sharing the dream to all that pass along their way

Colouring the land in glowing light, that shines so bright

 

Now we are here reaping what our fathers sowed

Spreading our roots, traditions that we have to hold

Knowing that we all must do the same, growing the flame

 

Repeat chorus twice

And with our fellow men 

The future’s in our hands

Let’s keep the spirit strong
