Once, there were soldiers,
Who died for us ;
They were the brave men,
Who lost their lives for us .
Once, there were fighters,,
Who suffered for the cause ,
The cause of freedom,
For all Filipinos.
They were the heroes,
Who freed us from chains.
Battles, they fought,
Never counting the cost,
They offered their own lives,
So ours would not be lost.
There could have been ,
No country of our own ;
No land, if not for them'
We can call our home .
But they are gone now,
To great beyond,
Gone from this homeland ,
Which marked their bravest stand,
Gone from this valley,
Where blood of valiants flowed ,
Could we forget them,
And the values they sowed ?
Dear are the heroes
Who freed us from chains.
(Note: This can be sang to the tune of "Greenfields" by The Brothers Four)
