HERO OF TODAY AND TOMORROW

by: MARY FARAH GRACE T. GITGANO

A nation of sorrows and fears

Living with many battlefields

The offspring of the new generation

Is shouting for freedom and salvation

With the furious leaders that behind

Holding wealth of the humankind

Seizing with power with greed

Which poisons the future ahead

Today, a novice teacher was born

Leading the path full of thorns

Trying to light on its way down home

Give hope to the new generation

With great honor and bravery

Spread the good deeds of our ancestry

Save mother earth and our country

By teaching young minds with nobility

Let us stop the fights and wars

Instead aim for the brightest stars

Aspire and inspire a future that bonds

For a happy generation beyond

Like a bird flying in the sky

Living with freedom and soaring high

Remembering our great heroes in time

They have sacrificed and died

But today, you’re a hero with dreams

You’re the light of the darkest lanes

Save our land from weeping tears

Continue the journey without fear

Aim for excellence with faith

And let God guide your feet

Because serving the land is your fate

Today and tomorrow you’re a hero to live
