Description: |
When I was teaching in Singapore, at Chestnut Drive SS, my principal, whom I had the pleasure of working with for five years, was appointed to be the more...first principal of a new school, by the name of Coral Secondary School. She invited me to write the school song for her, providing me with a few notes on the possible symbolism of the colours and growth patterns of coral. I added some of my own ideas, particularly the emphasis on cooperation in this very competitive society. The result was something rather different from the songs I usually write, and, I hope, a bit different from the usual school songs about striving for excellence, etc.
Lyrics:
Just as tiny grains of coral
Grow to mighty coral reefs
Let us join with one another
To stand up for our beliefs
Like a wave that's rolling forward
To the distant shining shore
We prepare to meet our future,
Finding joy in learning more.
...We are Coral
...Yes, we're Coral
...Coral is our school
...We are Coral
...Yes, we're Coral
...Coral is our school
Red for warm and loving hearts
And white for purity,
Like the corals in the ocean
We unite in harmony.
With the many schools of Singapore
We'll build a firm foundation
To make this island home of ours
A greater, stronger nation. less
