Mananatiling Buhay
Lumipas...
Napawi...
Buhay...
Hininga...
Mananatiling buháy
Alaala mong tunay !
Kapatid, kapanalig, minsan ay kaalit
tanging pagkakaibigan,kailan ma’y walanag kapalit
Masayang masaya, umaawit na ala-ala
Sa panahon ng pagsubok, kaagapay sa tuwina
Sulong sa bagong buhay, pagdaloy ng kapalaran
Hangad mo ay tagumpay, Sa nililiyag mong tunay
