Five Stars Arising Song Lyrics
Music & Lyrics: Lim Su Chong
There’s a new moon arising, out of the stormy sea
Youthful and bright and bearing hope, and tranquil as can be
Reach out for the moon above, savour freedom, truth and love
There’s a new moon arising, out of the stormy sea
There are five stars arising, out of the stormy sea
Each is a lamp to guide our way; a lamp for all to see
Reach out for the stars above, savour freedom, truth and love
There are five stars arising, out of the stormy sea
There’s a new flag arising, out of the stormy sea
Crimson as the blood of all mankind, yet white and pure and free
Reach out for the flag above, savour freedom, truth and love
There’s a new flag arising, happy and proud are we
In 1969, Singaporean composer Lim Su Chong composed a song entitled Five Stars Arising which took as its theme the elements of the national flag. The lyrics of the song speak of a new moon, five stars and a new flag “arising out of the stormy sea”. The moon is “youthful and bright and bearing hope, and tranquil as can be”, each of the stars is “a lamp to guide our way; a lamp for all to see” and the flag is “crimson as the blood of all mankind, yet white and pure and free”. The song is often sung during National Day celebrations.
