Everything I Am

I want you to understand
Because of you, I am who I am
Because of who you are
I can be everything I am

Show me how I should be strong
Teach me that I can be weak
Because of who you are
I can find anything I seek

And in each other, there will be
The colours of your tapestry
Colours you’ve never seen

Here’s to my home, to my homeland
To every shining crystal in the sand
Because of who you are
I can be everything I am

Here’s to you, to my homeland
I hold this precious jewel in my hand
Because of who you are
I can be everything I am

Teacher, teach me to be kind
Quick to embrace
And slow to close my mind
If we reach that star
We’ll have the universe in time

And in each other, there will be
The fabric of our destiny
It’s more than you and me

Here’s to my home, to my homeland
A sea of shining crystals in the sand
Because of who you are
I can be everything I am

Here’s to you, Singapore
Here’s to my people I could want nothing more
Here’s to you, Singapore
We hold this precious jewel in our hands

Because of who you are
Because of who you are
I can be everything I am
