Jacob Neo, a primary six student from Fairfield Methodist Primary School, wrote both the lyrics and melody for this song in just two days.

And here are some lyrics penned by Neo, who is 12.

"And the night looms the sun goes down, day bleeds and light's just a memory, memory.

The "Crowns" are invading us, what can we do, this is agony."

Whoa.

Here's the reason for the crown line.

Corona means crown.

Neo, who again is just 12, delivers these amazing one-liners with the kind of emotion that even some adults might find hard to muster.

His friends more than rise to the occasion as well.

Here are Neo's reasons for composing the song, according to NUH who shared his masterpiece.

"This is a song to encourage healthcare workers to press on, COVID-19 patients to stay strong, and Singapore to unite as one." - Jacob Neo, 12 years old, student from Fairfield Methodist School (Primary)

Inspired by the courage of healthcare workers in Singapore, Jacob composed a song and dedicated it to all in NUH.

Thank you, Jacob and friends – we are moved and amazed by your efforts to lift our spirits."
