SAF Family Concert 2018: “60 Years of Military Music”
21 December 2018
Esplanade Concert Hall
As musical ambassadors of the SAF, the SAF Central Band presents an original song to boost a greater sense of identity, belonging and esprit de corps within the organisation.
Composed by ME2 Dax Wilson Liang, Chief Composer of the SAF Band, “The SAF Dream” was written as a tribute to the men and women of the SAF, for their unwavering commitment to the nation's defence.
In military tradition, songs sung during training have always played an important role in boosting morale and camaraderie. This song can be sung as a cadence call, with the troops echoing after the leader in the verses, and singing in unison in the chorus. In the concert version, the SAF Pledge is also inserted in the trio, as a reminder of our responsibilities as defenders of our country.
The SAF Dream
Marching on to the beat
Of the land, for our creed.
We will stand to achieve
A swift and decisive victory.
From the land, from the sea,
From the air. We will be
The very best, and we will sing
The SAF Dream.
It’s a dream to be strong to be free,
To defend our land our peace
It’s a dream to be strong, it’s a dream so big,
With our hearts marching on to the beat.
