We will get there
Remember the days, we set out together with faith?
Remember the times, so fine, when we thought that
Nothing could stand in our way?
Then things weren't the same, the life that we knew had to change
We've struggled through, the darkest storms
We thought we couldn't tame
Together we've tried, as we stood side by side
I knew we'd build a new world
A world of hope for ever after
Chorus:
Deep in my heart I just know
Right from the start, we will grow
Look where we are, we've come so far
And there's still a long, long way to go
With all of my heart, I will care
I'll play my part, I will share
With family and friends, together we'll stand
And in the end, hand in hand
We will get there
So now we begin, working together to win
Believing in trust, it must
Be possible to overcome anything
There's so much to do, there's so much we can contribute
By sharing just a little love
We will start again anew
So why don't we try? If we stand side by side
I know we'll build a new world
A world of hope for ever after
Deep in my heart I just know
Right from the start, we will grow
Look where we are, we've come so far
And there's still a long, long way to go
With all of my heart, I will care
I'll play my part, I will share
With family and friends, together we'll stand
And in the end, hand in hand
We will get there

This poem expresses me – who I am, what I am like now, how I feel about life. The life during primary used to be easy and relaxed. “the times so fine.” My friends and I used to imagine ourselves as a grown-up, having graduated the top of the university. “when we thought that nothing could stand in our way.”
Then, things changed after we all advanced to secondary school. The life we had got used to over six years of primary education had to change. It changed from a relaxed to a busier schedule. “Then things weren't the same, the life that we knew had to change”. All of us struggled from the lack of sleep and the our ignorance of some topics that we now are so familiar with. “We've struggled through, the darkest storms”. We had thought we would never come through secondary school life. “We thought we couldn't tame”.
After the shock of the abrupt changes in our life, we decided that we would work best in a group so we got together despite going to different schools. “Together we've tried, as we stood side by side”. We still maintain the confidence that one day in the future, we will be successful in whatever field we are in and contribute to mankind in one way or another. “I knew we'd build a new world A world of hope for ever after”.
In my heart, I know that we will continue to advance and progress to the higher levels of education. “Deep in my heart I just know Right from the start, we will grow”. At the end of primary six, we looked back to our first day of primary one. It seemed such a long time ago. But when we look forward to our bright future, we realize there is a much longer path to follow. “Look where we are, we've come so far And there's still a long, long way to go”
I care for all those close and dear to me “with all of my heart”. I will play my part in the contribution to society, I will share what I know which others may not know. “I'll play my part, I will share” Friends and family are those who are closest and dearest to me, together we will walk on and work together towards our goals and finally, we will arrive at our destination. “With family and friends, together we'll stand And in the end, hand in hand We will get there”.
So now we start on the long arduous journey, working together towards our objectives. “So now we begin, working together to win”. We trust each other and believe in it, then we will be able to work as a cohesive group. “Believing in trust, it must”, thus being to achieve almost everything. “Be possible to overcome anything”
There is too much to do on this world, as much as we are able to contribute. “There's so much to do, there's so much we can contribute”. And just by sharing a little love by doing charity and helping the world’s people. “By sharing just a little love”.
We can then undo whatever wrong we have done. “We will start again anew”.
We ought to try to contribute, (So why don't we try?) if we work together we can make an entirely new, better world(I know we'll build a new world). A world better for the rest of the world. A world with hope.(A world of hope for ever after)
This poem shows what I place first in my heart; friends and family. I truly believe that working with those who I get along well with will increase the efficiency of our work. And the confidence that I have in my friends and I that we will one day be successful is from the bottom of my heart.
Since this song is about working together with other people; friends and family, and my learning style is interpersonal, I think a poem on working together is in order.
We are never alone
Even in the darkest of times,
When there was no light
At the end of a seemingly endless tunnel
We are never alone
We may sometimes think that
We have to do a task all by ourselves
But I will show you that
We are never alone
In the most hopeless of times
Where you have given up
You will see, beside you, family. See?
We are never alone
You decide to work with them
And together you
Start to chip away at the most solid of rock
Keeping others from you
And you hear on the other side
Similar scraping noises
We are never alone
Soon, by removing all that stands between allies
You soon mass a large number of friends
And with your family,
Start to rush to the narrow beam of light
Which was granted for your unity
The first arrives, and pulls the gap wider
So everyone can escape
The imprisonment of being alone
We are never alone
Having succeeded
Cheers and hugs,
Everyone is happy.
Even the jailer rejoices at the reunion of the prisoner
For it was the clever him
Who wanted to teach to all
We are never alone

Good song and good analysis. Many people have commented on how hard it is moving from Primary to Secondary and how the work load ratchets up. I am hoping that you will be able to follow the song and work with others, achieve your goals but above all else, enjoy your times at Hwa Chong. Let's not forget that the first letter in JTiger is JOY!
