I wrote Hands of Harmony because sometimes I feel small—like my hands can't really do much. But then I thought, what if even small hands can help someone? What if just reaching out can make a big difference? That’s when this song started growing in my head.

The verses talk about moments when we feel unsure or not good enough. But the chorus is the reminder: every hand, even yours and mine, is powerful and grand. It’s not just about helping others, it’s about walking together, hand in hand, no matter what.

This song is for anyone who’s ever felt like they don’t matter. You do. Your hand matters. And maybe, just maybe, your hand can be the one that lifts someone up.

Title: Hands of Harmony

Dennis Di Fan

Pei Chun Public School, Class 4/8

[Verse 1]

Sometimes you may feel small and have doubt.

When you look at your hands,

There’s nothing but air?

Everyone has fits of being down and out.

[Chorus]

For every hand is powerful and grand,

Reach out to help those who need a hand.

Forward we go, hand in hand,

For even your hand is powerful and grand.

[Verse 2]

Sometimes you may feel not enough for anything.

When you look into the mirror,

There’s no one but yourself.

Everyone faces time through a difficult string.

[Chorus]

For every hand is powerful and grand,

Reach out to help those who need a hand.

Forward we go, hand in hand,

For even your hand is powerful and grand.

Lone Wolf - original Song composition by Elden Choo (ex student of Mrs Tan)

This song is about someone who has "friends" who initially act like they enjoy his company, but eventually leave him on the lurch to fend for himself.

However, he decides he doesn't need them and learns to be independent and be the best he can be all on his own.

Sometimes the only people who seem like they are there for us will eventually leave us and we have to learn to stand on our own two feet.

For most of the songs I've written, I write it from personal experience and this is definitely not an exception. Everyone has surely experienced abandonment by loved ones before, so I feel this is a song many will be able to relate to.

Title: Lone Wolf

[Verse 1]
They had turned upon him, left him in the cold
Broken soul and ripped up heart, buried in the snow ,
Whitewashed, feelings burning, in his head he turned them in
How much love had hurt him, no one else would know

[Pre-Chorus]
But he got better and better, tried to go further and further, to defend, on his own
He got stronger and stronger, lit up the fire the fire, on his strength, alone

[Chorus]
Running in the middle of the night, no sleep
All alone he’s powerful
On his own, invincible
Fighting day and night just for his life, wild beast
All alone he’s powerful
On his own, invincible

[Verse 2]
Prowling through the forest, dark like haunted breeze
Torn apart like fabric, brought down to his knees
Tried to put him in his place, but he broke the chains they tied him in
Pray that they regret it, what they did to him

*Repeat Pre-Chorus
*Repeat Chorus

[Verse 1]

Singapore is my home

I love it a lot

What about you?

There are many places to see.

We are a garden and a smart city.

We have many interesting places to see.

[Chorus]

Gardens by the bay you can see many rare plants

Changi Airports a beautiful airport you can see and dance

Jurong you can camp, give it a chance

Marina Bay Sands, Singapore in a glance

Song Title - Grateful Hearts

[Verse 1]

Step outside, look around

Feel the sun, upon the ground

Hear the birds, see the sky

Life’s a gift, don’t pass it by

[Chorus]

Thank you for the love that I’ve seen

For the Earth (for the Earth), for the sky (for the sky)

For the sun (for the sun), for the rain (for the rain)

For the joy, and the gain

[Verse 2]

Kindest words, hands held tight

Walk under, the diamond sky

Every inch, every mile

Love shows in every smile

[Chorus]

Thank you for the love that I’ve seen

For the Earth (for the Earth), for the sky (for the sky)

For the sun (for the sun), for the rain (for the rain)

For the joy, and the gain

Thank you for the hope – lights my way

For the stars (for the stars), for the moon (for the moon)

For the dreams (for the dreams), and the strength

For the love that sets me free

We wrote this song to remind people of the importance of gratitude. In today’s fast-paced, digital world, many forget to appreciate the simple things—like the beauty of nature, the love of family, the support of friends, and the guidance of teachers.

Through this song, we hope to inspire others to take a break, step outside, and notice the blessings in their lives. We believe that by expressing appreciation more often, we can make the world a kinder and warmer place. Gratitude brings joy and strengthens relationships. Your parents gave you life, your friends support you, and your teachers guide you—each deserves your thanks.

Song Title - The Magic of Music

[Instrumental Introduction]

[Verse 1]

I was still young

Still in Primary School

Thought I was cool

But I was just a fool

All my friends, laughed at me

When I said I want to make Music

But I held my drumsticks

And played a beat that was sick

[Chorus]

Music is a magical place

Where you can take your time and find your place

Music will leave you amazed

There’s lot’s of things that you can showcase

[Instrumental interlude]

[Verse 2]

My friends saw me making music

And their jaws dropped like a flaming candlestick

I looked at them and I did not break

Did not think that was a mistake

[Pre-Chorus]

I just keep playing and playing

While they’re looking and looking

The music in my head is appearing

I just keep playing and playing

While they’re looking and looking

Did not think about failing

[Repeat Chorus]

[Electric guitar solo]

[Repeat Chorus]

The song reflects on how we reacted when our friends laughed at us. We wrote it for those who are laughed at or bullied at school. The song reminds us to stand strong in our beliefs and not give up when facing challenges. It’s a message of empowerment, encouraging us to keep going and rise above tough times. Through this song, we hope to inspire resilience and the strength to never give up.

Song Title - Shinjite

[verse 1]

the skies are turning grey,

my life is in a haze.

scattered pages, half-read signs,

the road ahead has no straight lines.

[pre-chorus]

look to the lively skies,

the birds are soaring really high.

maybe someday I’ll understand,

that I’m enough for who I am.

[chorus]

あなたの確認は必要ありません

(I don’t need to wait for your confirmation)

私は信じている

(I believe)

[verse 2]

some days shine and some fade,

but every step’s a choice I made.

chasing dreams that come and go,

but I keep going don’t you know.

*repeat pre-chorus and chorus

Song title: Smile Everyday

[Verse 1]

I wake up in the morning,

hearing the birds sing

Feeling the wonderful breeze,

it puts me at ease

[Chorus]

So, smile today, smile everyday

Let it guide you through everything.

For it that curves upon your face,

Lies love, joy and endless grace.

[Verse 2]

From minutes to hours,

From days to weeks, I smile.

Another day, another chance to

fill the world with smiles.

Repeat [Chorus]

Title: The Road in Life

[Verse 1]

Standing in the middle of nowhere

Thinking about giving up

Leaving doubts behind

Life is a road to go through

[Chorus]

Not giving up cause of challenges

Doubts disappearing slowly

Challenge fading into thin air

Like bad thoughts disappearing

[Verse 2]

Wanna stop and breathe a while

Bumps along the way

Overcoming the challenges

Going through everything

[Chorus]

Not giving up cause of challenges

Doubts disappearing slowly

Challenge fading into thin air

Like bad thoughts disappearing

This song is about me really wanting a dog like a friend that would protect and stay with me but I can’t get a dog yet but i still know I would get one soon

The lyrics:

In my home I have been missing a friend

Whom I can depend

Whatever it might be

I know one day it will come to me

A missing friend, how I hope you come soon

Here I am, singing my hopeful tune

A missing friend, I know you’ll come soon

Because fate will bring us together

I learnt :

- that you need to put a lot of hard work into something if you want to do it well

- songwriting requires a lot of personal emotions or ideas poured into it

- everything seems easy when you go through it with the right person

Challenges I faced are:

- writing lyrics, because I had no inspiration

- singing, because the tune I decided on was hard to execute

A goal I have for the future is:

- maybe someday I can make my own song again (privately)

Through this enrichment, it gave me a chance to express my love for music. I actually have a lot of out of school commitments, which have increased by a lot recently.I got really stressed, and the things I was doing outside of school didn’t give a lot of time for studying and homework,coming home late every school day.As a result, l scored badly in the recent test, worse than l had ever done before.Music is beautiful, it sets me free from all of my stress and worries. My problem is: I can do a lot of things , but I don’t excel in any of those things. To be honest, I didn’t make the deadline for the songwriting competition as l was preparing to go to Hanoi. This made so upset, because l thought that for once, I would do something that I could be good at. I hope that next year, I can enter the songwriting competition again. Maybe, one day I’ll do something big:)
