Proud to Be Filipino

Lyrics

[Verse] Sunrise on Manila Bay watchin' waves at play Rice fields glow in morning light I'm home today Bamboo dances in the breeze hearts full and free Island love calls my name whispered by the sea [Chorus] Proud to be Filipino let our colors fly Underneath this sunlit sky we rise high From Manila to Mindanao hear our voices sing We are one strong nation our hearts as one ring [Verse 2] Toronto’s iced embrace can’t hold my heart It's in the tropic warmth where I find my start Jeepneys on the narrow streets life’s simple beat In every face I greet my spirit feels complete [Chorus] Proud to be Filipino let our colors fly Underneath this sunlit sky we rise high From Manila to Mindanao hear our voices sing We are one strong nation our hearts as one ring [Bridge] American dream’s a tale but home’s the pearl White sands and sunsets our paradise unfurled From city lights to oceans blue our blood runs true In every heartbeat felt the joy of me and you [Chorus] Proud to be Filipino let our colors fly Underneath this sunlit sky we rise high From Manila to Mindanao hear our voices sing We are one strong nation our hearts as one ring
