In the shadows of a nation’s dream,
Where whispers of freedom softly gleam,
He stood with courage, unspoken and grand,
A voice of the people, a guiding hand.
Through the darkness of tyranny’s reign,
His words like fire, dispelled the pain,
Noli Me Tangere, a cry from the heart,
Unveiling truths that tore worlds apart.
The silence of the unyielding spirit,
Echoed through time, we still hear it,
A beacon for justice, a call for light,
In the depths of the longest night.
Remember his sacrifice, his undying plea,
For a land unchained, for souls set free,
In every struggle, in every fight,
The spirit of Rizal, forever bright.
