MALAYSIAN ENTRY:
ELLA - "STANDING IN THE EYES OF THE WORLD"
Eventhough the show is nearly over, I would like to share about the Malaysian entry;
"Standing in The Eyes of the World" was composed specially as the theme song for the 1998 Commonwealth Games which took place in Kuala Lumpur.
That is when I was 10 years old. Never was I so exposed to the many countries of the world before the Commonwealth Games.
The games was spectacular; I watched all the sports on TV and never get tired of it.
To add, this song is a major motivation for me to chase my dreams to study abroad and experience the world.
Lyrics (Translation)
The bitterness of life and the sacrifices
You have to face them to survive
Taught to strive since you were small
Without the first step, you'll go nowhere
Wherever you are, success is not easily achieved.
Chorus:
Now, standing in the eyes of the world,
It's just one step from reality,
The burning will in your hearts,
Waiting for that moment of freedom,
Now it's time for you to step up,
Full with spirits, towards your aim, with all your strength
You are the best,
And you shall be standing in the eyes of the world.
The hope that is once nearly dead,
Now blooming again under your shadows,
Every human wants to succeed,
But not everyone has the luck,
It is now so close, the opportunity is here!
