Memorialize the day of 15th February
The day Singapore our dearly loved homeland fell to the Japanese

Remind ourselves to be primed as one and whole
There’s more in the future to hold

One of five there’s the civil defence
To protect one another behind the fence

Blood donations and air-raid exercises
Keep us prepared and on the go

Economic defence we achieve our greatest
To ensure the state’s growth

Including the prosperity and opportunities
Take the chance and work smart

Coming right up we join hands as one
Social defence we contribute to

Harmony in races and religions
Off with the evil discriminations

Fourth up is the military defence
Keeping fit and responsive to no end

Cheer on our captains and army
Taking their training seriously

Last but not least we have our homes
No matter if you’re lone or solo

Psychological defence we experience a shared nation
Believe in Singapore and bring it down

Pause and stop in your stride
Think of the total defence

Do something for the landThe future is in our hands
