INDEPENDENCE DAY IN THE PHILIPPINES
Witten for Freddy a FILIPINO mix
Hat off! Along the street there
comes a blare of bugles, a ruffle of drums, and a flash of
color beneath the Sky: Blue
crimson and white it shines, over the straight marching
lines the flag is passing by signifying
the Seabee fights, the ocean fights, the grim and
great. Fought to save the
Philippine Nation. Weary marches and
sinking ships, cheers of
victory on dying lips.
Hats off! The Philippine Flag is
passing by. You are so grand in every fold, linked with
mighty deeds of old, Steeped in
blood where heroes fell, torn and pierced by shot and
shell.
Hats off! Throats swells at the
sight of you the flag is passing by. Days of glory, tears of
war keeps our Nation, great and
strong, warding off dictators from foreign wrong. Pride,
glory, honor, live in the colors stand
or fall. Salute the flag as it floats on high,
Hats off!
Streaming a loft in the clear, blue sky, rippling, easing, tugging away,
gay as
the sunshine, bright as day,
throbbing with life. No one may mess with the flag of our country free.
Hats off! The flag’s raised high; bare our heads as it
passes by. We thrill with pride, and
our hearts beat fast and we cheer
and cheer as the flag goes past—the flag that waves
for you and me—Flag of our
country, Flag of the free!
Hats off! What of the men who lifted you, Old Flag Upon
the top of Luzon Hill, Who
crushed the Japs cruel will, mid
shock and roar and crash and scream, which
crossed the Inland Sea. Who starved, who fought, who bled, who died, that you might gloat
in glorious pride nobly as you led the way.
Hats off! Your stars shine move
on for liberty, your white stripes stand for purity
crimson color courage high, For
Honor’s sake to fight and die, Lead on against the alien
shore!
Hats off!
