Such a heartfelt song. Forever the song of Singapore. RIP Mr Lee Kuan Yew, father of Singapore.

[kvanar]

Chorus:
This is home truly, where I know I must be
Where my dreams wait for me, where that river always flows
This is home surely, as my senses tell me
This is where I won't be alone, for this is where I know it's home

[dorothychia]

It was so beautiful, so touching that I cried..Rest In Peace..Mr LKY

[ldydaryl]

A very touching rendition of the song indeed. The Singapore we have today, we owe it to the foresight & hard work of Mr. LKY. The lyrics of this song is so meaningful and it has been made even more so with passing on of our founding father. I am sure tears have welled up in eyes of many while listening to this song over the past few days. We as a nation have come together and sent off Mr. LKY in one way or another as he was never alone in the home he created for us citizens of Singapore. Let us remember what Mr. LKY has done for us and always remember to the Singapore we have today are the fruits of labor of the generations before us. We must never stop striving and progressing as a nation!
