Feeling overwritten and trapped.

My love for you is overwhelming,

Though yours for me is trapped.

Oh, Maria, I have come to free you,

Caged by the people ordering you.

Feeling lost and unease,

I have yet to shine the light.

Oh, Maria, I have heard your screams,

The fear to ask for help.

Though wild wind blowing,

I've come to help.

Oh, Maria, I have spread the world,

Fighting but not through blood.

I disguised my weapons through my words,

Spreading the news of mistreatment.

Oh, Maria, they have come to silence me.

Though my words will soon be muted.

The idea I've fought will remain,

Goodbye, Maria.

Fields carved by the hands of the people.

From purest sands to the busting city,

Hundreds of islands separated by the vast seas.

The beginning of the country, colonized and influenced.

Who faced suffering and shed blood and tears.

Tread carefully amongst the foreign.

Captivated, we fell in the hands of not our blood.

Amidst what we faced, our pride stands strong.

Forming and building to what we have become.

Similar ideas, it brought us together,

To strive and to continue the burning flame.

However, these issues did not deter our loyalty.

It continued to grow and grow, an undying love.

Fighting battles for our motherland,

We will unite and sacrifice for our nation.

But through the sharpest of blades and the strongest of people,

Once a man who believe in his rights to freedom,

He fought for the country, for the sake of his Filipinos

'Til his last breath.

Even on the fields of battle,

In the fury of fight.

We are willing to see the darkness of the night.

We'll fight the battles,

For peace, freedom, and our country.

And if fate does not align,

We shall know that we did our task to comply.

For tomorrow when duty calls,

We do not give up and fall.

Even within the brick of death,

It is our honour, to die, and to give our country life.

Our mother tongue that we love,

Has alphabets and letters of its very own.

But these were lost by the vast waves,

Yet possible to bring it back to life once again.

My adored nation,

Pearl of the Orient Sea.

Soar free like the birds above,

Let the dawn send for its fleeting brilliant light.

Her language is too difficult to stay

As for her children, they try to learn

They choose not to and that is how our future burn.

Our Motherland has grown impressively

But the language made is shown poorly.

The Motherland's children must change

They must show eagerness on when to engage.

The Mother tongue that we were taught must stay

If we let it die, our founding people will haunt us

Through the highs and lows, we should not let it lay

Not only our Motherland's dignity will die,so as us.

A language given to us by God, should kept fine

As it is more valuable than gold in a mine.

Learn to love and nurture our beloved language,

So we may be able yo communicate ang engage.

The crusader of chaos

Let it fire!

The anxious minds awaken.

Loud noises are bombarded by the drums

Heavy thoughts, heavy sighs

The exhausted time of turmoil

When shall the beating drums end?

A bird high above others

Soars at every hour

Teaching the good wills but,

A chief of torture.

A shield, common to the instinct

Tough and guarded

But take the book on the shelf

As the word are like blades

The sun of the morning shines

Into the glorious cycle

Reverberate to the flock

As the bullet misses

Ay nakikita ang aking bayan.

Aking puso,

Aking tahanan.

Kahit saan man tayo mapadpad,

Hindi sana natin makakalimutan ang mga pangarap na natupad.

Ng ating mga ninuno

Na mapagmahal at matalino

Masaya at mapayapa!

Iaalay ko ang aking buhay

Sa bansang Pilipinas!

Ang nag-iisa kong Pilipinas!

Tayo'y manalig sa Diyos

At manumpa sa ating bayan.

Palaguin natin ang ating puso

Para sa ating bansa.

Sana 'di natin pababayaan

Ang ating sariling kasaysayan.

Sa panahon ng paghihirap

Sa Pilipinas tayo mangarap!

Ay nagdulot ng kaguluhan.

Pang-aabuso, korupsyon, at walang awang pagpatay.

Kailangan ng bayan ang bayaning walang kinatatakutan.

Ang katapangan ng isang tao,

Ay gumising sa utak ng mga Pilipino.

Matalino at hindi makasarili,

Siya'y laging nagwawagi

Ang buhay na walang kalayaan,

Ay buhay na walang hustisya sa mga Pilipino.

Siya na nagbigay ng katarungan.

Siya ay bayani ng hustiysa.

Ang pagsusulat ay paraan ng paglaban.

Ang ating bayani na magiting na lumaban.

Nakatayong mataas kagaya ng ating watawat,

Namatay sa digmaan para sa bayan.

Ngayon ano na? Saan na ang hustisya?

Ang mga mamamayan ay walang pagkakaisa

Korupsiyon at pagpatay ng mga biktimang inosente

Gawa ng gobyernong makasalanan.

Oh how I have missed you

You're as graceful as a dove

And you were truly the one for me.

As your beauty stuns me

I am left a ghast

But as you move so gracefully

My heart flutters like the wings of a sparrow

You are altogether beautiful my darling

There is no flaw in you

The pupils in your eye are sparkling

It makes me love you more

But as we part ways

For you have turned my heart into shreds

You used to set my heart ablaze

Mi amor, Mi amor.

Of tomorrow's generation

Leading the operation

To fight the domination

As all the leaves fall out

The trunks are on the verge of dying out

He is the water that springs the tree back

A hope for the fighting

Fighting or not fighting

That is what he is deciding

He already decided to fight

By not fighting

Fires are spreading

In the nation that we're building

Caused by one source

Fire is like a force

He is our fighter

Distinguished the lighter

That started this fire

Beginning of tomorrow's desire

Herded by sheep by the tyrant's shepherd

Arise, children of the Motherland

A hymn to a new world in birth

They have taken untold wealth

That they never toiled to earn

Our land abounds with nature's gift

Though the land is ours, the gifts are not.

Loose the chains that keep us apart

And use them to bind us together

Gather the armour and take a stand

Stand together for our diamond sand

We can achieve it as the stars align

All we need is a place to start

If we have heart, we'll make it

Take it to the next level, build it, make it, and do it.

As sure as the sun meets the morning

And rivers flow down to the sea

A new day for mankind is dawning

Our children shall live proud and free.

Held captive by those so greedy

All that she is, left in ruins

By those who left her tormented.

The ravaged Motherland,

Filled with tyranny and oppression

Yet a spark remains

A beacon of hope among the pain

A thirst for freedom arises

The walls of oppression slowly breaking

A voice is clear amongst the chaos

"Where faith does not kill and where God alone does reign"

The battle awakened the fields

Blood shed without pain or hesitancy

Burning flames put out for life

Our fellow countrymen were beaten and dead

Oh, Pearl of the Orient Sea!

Your sacrifices have set you free

Mourning forlorn wailing voices

Spreading your healing wings that were once bound.

A war without guns

A war without fist

A war without peace

Only a battle with words were fought

Freedom is all we sought

Independence is what we seek

Today, we reach our peak

Oh! Motherland, we cry

We ought to fight 'till we die

Fear is what we feel least

'Till we see the sun rise from the east

For the people who we've lost

It was all worth the cost

In return, we gained something for them

Now, we proudly sing our anthem

For our land, for our country

For the people whom we lost

We fought for their honor

They fought for our freedom
