Rise

There is a voice within my mind
Singing the songs of distant times
Speaking the thoughts from lost horizons.
Music and words that must be signs
Shaping the facets that define
How we have come to be the present
Descendants.

BRIDGE
Though we’re from ten different lands
Bound by shores of common sand
Singing out as one
Let’s stand
The world is in our hands

CHORUS
No matter where we’re from
If we could sing one song
Dreams that are yours and mine
They will be realized
Trusting the love we feel
Trust in the love that’s real
Children unite
People of ASEAN rise.

Chapters unfolding from the past
Speaking of wisdom to my heart
Lessons to learn from our ancestors.
Pushing horizons let's have faith
Our differences we will embrace
Shaping as one our common future
Our future.

Composed by Dick Lee
Arranged by Kenn C

Having read the lyrics and listening to the song,I feel that it voices out what we have learnt in life. It kinda sings out the meaning of life in a way for us to unite as one people as to forge a better future. (to listen to it click on the utube link by the side of my blog =D)
