All of us have stories we yearn to keep
Songs that sing praises of past in our sleep
Yet no word will suffice, for the lives
That our people fought for, as they thrive.
What remains in us is the choice to stay
To embrace the culture in our way
The voices and language that we bear
Testament to the culture we share
Filipino language, is a pride.
A mirror to a culture that thrives
A thread that connects the tide
For all, not to take only one side
Now, raise it high, higher than before
Past these shores, with all might let it roar
We are “Pinoys”, with a voice so strong
A language that keeps us all along.
