• Checked out the official theme song of the YOG 2010?   Sung by Jessica Mauboy, Steve Appleton, Jody WIlliams, Tabitha Nauser & Sean Kingston.
  The music video for “Everyone” was shot entirely in Singapore. The singers were filmed performing the inspiring tune against iconic Singapore backdrop/landmarks like the city skyline, Singapore Flyer, Marina Barrage, and Esplanade. Intercut with montages of young athletes competing in various sports, the music video captures the youths’ unwavering pursuit of excellence and the positivity they exude in chasing their dreams. Through the snippets of these young sportsmen & women’s unrehearsed performances, we share their aspirations and celebrate the human spirit with the youth of the world.

 

Here’re the lyrics for you to sing along.

Walls are down
Hopes arise
Rings of the world unite

Every child
Has a wish
To glow like the stars above

Living out your aspiration
Time to fly way beyond the skies
A world that shines for everyone

Go all the way
Friends beyond the race

Cheer the joy
Share the tears
The journey remains our pride

Bridge 2 *
Lift our voices as victories blaze
