Be Like Cagsawa

Many was born yet few remains
Standing at the threshold 
Of what life could bring.
You're a living dead!
Keep creeping even walls amid mountains shake.
Walk even lands break,
Swim even seas waving freak.

Though twilight of your day rest
Dawn is waiting its turn.
Not now but on anon time 
You will be buried,
And along with it
 Is the time you''ll be remembered.

Be like Cagsawa,
Leave a portion from you,
Reserve  for history,
Not for your glory and glory's sake 
But for people's determination 
And faith in the name of hope.
