WE WILL RISE AGAIN
(music and lyrics by Jude Gitamondoc)

I can see it now
Crystal clear as day
My people will rise again
Someday soon, somehow
Somewhere down the way
My people will rise again

My people, we will rise again
We will learn to spread our wings and fly again
Like an eagle to the distant dawn
We will rise again.

No more hollow words
No more shallow lies
For tomorrow, we will rise again
No more shattered hopes
And no more tattered lives
This time tomorrow, we will rise again

My people, we will rise again
We will learn to spread our wings and fly again
Like an eagle to the distant dawn
From out the shackles of the past
We'll be flying free at last
And rising with the morn, we will stand
And we will rise again.

And nothing, no one can take
My dream away from me
I won't let them, I won't let them, no...
I won't, for tomorrow, we will rise again

We will rise again
We will learn to spread our wings and fly again
Like an eagle to the distant dawn
From out the shackles of the past
We'll be flying free at last
And rising with the morn, we will stand
And we will rise again
My people, we will rise again.
