Fil-Am

Flag of two, side by side, of red, white and blue In thirsting heart of thine, let God’s words shine Let not this symbol of two, suddenly, be in blue In the land of apples, dwell peace-loving people Pearl of the Orient, with a pure and natural scent It’s blended, in your blood, be happy and be glad No one can take; keep it safe, for your own sake Of all good things you gained, use it, not in vain Arm with courage and wisdom, from native Juan Molded and taken care, by hospitable Uncle Sam Ever be grateful of life, and defend it against strife Run not from trouble, but, mend it by being noble In the eyes of all, we can stand tall, being humble Color of skin, white or brown, never forget our kin Ah! My brother and sister, live in the spirit of two No Fil-Am, without the grace of our Sam and Juan For poet J.B, my Fil-Am brother
