Response: To the Filipino Youth
Pride and honor we have,
But love for our country we don’t;
For the country we save,
It is not here just to be lent
For the fair Philippines,
Our foes many enough to daunt,
In the enemy lines,
But on our white horse we have mount.
Beneath the rising sun,
Even if our swords were rusty,
We will not ever run,
For us to see that better day.
Rise, the youth of the land!
For we will show the whole wide world,
Our talents that is grand,
And the history that are told.
We have to protect it,
The land of ours so beautiful,
These deeds we do commit,
Will prove to be bountiful
Let our minds fly like wind,
To fight with our own intellect,
With a merciful hand,
For our land we need to protect.
