The Beloved Land of Heroes
Bring back the old land
the one we used to be proud of
like the times we still uphold our own values
when we still care for respect for dignity
those olden days when race isn't a big deal
the black and white images of pioneers
when Filipinos are still Filipinos
and not foreigners in their own land
when we still wear our National identity
those times when we're still against cruelty to see changes
when ethnic cleansing isn't the only solution
when taking people's life isn't our last resort
coz putting the law in your hands doesn't make the country better
funny how they are now in favor of disloyalty to vows
and it's inhumane to fight for abortion to be legal
do you feel satisfied when people's blood's dripping down your hands?
people aren't in charge of others' lives
so do I
It's always a matter of choice
Others believe tyranny is the answer
others don't
while few people chose to be silent
afraid of their lives
taking away lives won't lessen the count of criminals
is that what you people want?
seeing your own race suffer and enjoy it?
This is your country
whether you like it or not
the blood of your ancestors was once shed on this land
don't focus on your own sufferings
focus on the surroundings
call them self-righteous
but you cannot change the history itself
it will never be
Rationality opened different view points
that lead to revolution
but it doesn't mean
we're free from folly
Coz even if a thousand heroes die,
in the end
It's us - who'll make the nation better.
