What Happened To You Philippines
Philippines is the country where we Filipinos live
Compose of about 7,107 scattered islands
A beautiful and a peaceful destination
My archipelago, my home, my little world
Yet your people have chosen to leave
Pawning and selling to others their own lands
Dragging down our economy and the whole nation
My archipelago, my home, my little world
Full of diverse resources to offer and to give
Like extraordinary fine white sands
An abode for the future generation
My archipelago, my home, my little world
Lack of food and help to provide
To our countrymen and our sides
A disappointment to our legion
My archipelago, my home, my little world
The land where everybody wears a smile
Living with faith to each of our religions
Saving our own mother land to damnation
My archipelago, my home, my little world
A country where good lads have to suffer and to die
An unconquerable virus and a nationwide trends
Obviously happiness and peacefulness are on its
dawn
My archipelago, my home, my little world
This is what the Philippines is today and was before
An ideal island, a dangerous haven,
A shelter for the masses, an opportunity for aliens
The place where we have grown, the place that we
do not own
My archipelago, my home, my little world
