A country that is full of treasure,
Being a part of it is a pleasure.
Enjoying each day in such a place,
Proud to be included in this race.
Many have also discovered your beauty,
And wants it for their selfish prosperity.
Conquering and controlling people as in a cage,
Then putting us in our downfall stage.
Even though they try to take you away,
Filipinos are ready to save you in their own way.
Ink and paper, blood and sword, everything's at stake,
Just to show they gave their all for your sake.
All I know is that I did my best,
Not to fail you in this test.
Through all those years, up and down,
Still standing firmly owning the crown.
Leaving you is the hardest thing,
But I know many will protect you from anything.
So in return for your kingdom,
Remember that I'll always fight for your freedom.
