Filipino’s resiliency has always been put into test
Volcanic eruptions, typhoons and earthquakes have been countless
Endless war and killings in Mindanao have trampled human rights
Wistfully, it even claimed numerous Filipino lives.
Thousands die of hunger and malnutrition
A lot of children are being denied of education
Wrath of nature, cruel destiny may have stolen everything from us
But we did not give up; we surmounted pains without a fuss.
Determined to survive, motivated by the inspiration to live
Filipinos unite regardless of status, religion and creed
We may be daunted by the horrible scenes around us
But we are being strengthened by our unwavering faith in the One above us.
When things go wrong, even if we stumble and fall
A Filipino will bounce back with arms stronger to endure it all
As pliant as a bamboo, as sturdy as a wall
A Filipino will survive, he will stand tall.
