Once a new day’s coming,  

the learning hours are here 

Even if you’re feeling down,  

there is nothing to fear 

Once the sun starts to set,  

everyone finally rests 

When they wake up,  

we will all do our best  

Pre Chorus 

As we start to learn 

many subjects and new skills 

But if you’re sick, you can stay home at your own will 

Now the time of the year has come to celebrate 

Chorus 

A hundred and thirty six years, of our school, to be founded 

The greatest day for Fairfield, if it’s gone, none of us would have known each other 

Creating foundations, it sounds hard, but we can do it 

As long as, we are a team nothing can stop us 

Instrumental 

Verse 2 

Learning new skills, is important, for our daily lives 

Although many people doubt it, they really are just lies 

Whatever hopes you have, you can continue on 

We are almost coming to the, end of this song

After six whole years, learning goes by, saying goodbye to your Friends, Classmates and even teachers, it would be your last day, in this school

From Jewel’s fun 

 to Sentosa's beaches, (9)

in this garden city,

(Verse 1) 

In the classroom's glare, where the hours go by, 

I'm just a young soul, trying to reach the sky. 

With textbooks heavy and dreams so high, 

I'm learning to spread my wings, ready to fly. 

(Chorus) 

Oh, the agony we feel, like a storm inside, 

But through it all, we'll hold on tight, 

Though the road may be rough, and the path unclear, 

Hope will guide us through, wiping away each tear. 

(Verse 2) 

On the playground's turf, where laughter meets fears, 

I navigate friendships, shedding unseen tears. 

But with each fall, I rise again, strong and clear, 

Finding my voice, overcoming every jeer. 

(Pre-Chorus) 

Through the doubts that linger, and the fears that bind, 

I'll find the strength within, leaving doubts behind. 

(Chorus) 

Oh, the agony we feel, like a storm inside, 

But through it all, we'll hold on tight, 

Though the road may be rough, and the path unclear, 

Hope will guide us through, wiping away each tear. 

(Bridge - Rap) 

Yo, listen up, let me speak my truth, 

In this world of chaos, I'll find my youth. 

With every setback, I'll rise above, 

Stronger than before, fueled by love. 

In the beat of my heart, in the rhythm of my rhyme, 

I'll break free from chains, one step at a time. 

With hope in my soul, and courage in my stride, 

I'll conquer every obstacle, with nothing to hide. 

(Chorus) 

Oh, the agony we feel, like a storm inside, 

But through it all, we'll hold on tight,  

Though the road may be rough, and the path unclear, 

Hope will guide us through, wiping away each tear.

End 

I enjoyed using the professional recording equipment that I would not get to use often. I also enjoyed seeing how the sound engineer edited what I was singing.

(2) What I learned through the recording session

I learned how people record songs and edit them so that we can all listen to them. I also learned that singing and editing a song is not easy work and it takes a lot of time, but in the end, it is still worth it.

(3) How the recording session stretched me in terms of my musical abilities

During the recording, I learned how to project my voice when singing into the microphone.

(4) What I felt challenging

At the start, it was hard to project my voice into the microphone, and my voice always sounded distant no matter how close I was to the microphone. Gradually, I learned how to project my voice and I managed to do it in the end.

(5) What I wish to learn more or have questions about

I wish to learn more about how the sound engineer edits my singing and makes it into a song.

I enjoyed singing the song and using the equipment to sing and to listen to the backing track.

(2) What did I learn during the recording session

I learnt how to be able to get the right tune and how to sing the right note.

(3) How did the recording session stretch me in terms of my musical ability

It helped me to be able to keep in tune and not slide.

(4) What I felt challenging

I felt like the pacing and how to keep in tune challenging.

(5) What do I wish to learn more or have questions about

I wish to learn how to operate the equipment like how the sound engineer does and learn how to edit the song using the computer.
