I just found this very nice, inspiring and uplifting song in Facebook entitled “We will rise again.” Considering that we have just successfully concluded our first automated elections and that we will be having a new president who promised to stamp out corruption, this song is just perfect for this time of change! Hopefully this song will inspire the Filipino nation to rise again and finally achieve our dreams to become a great nation.
What I further love about this song is that it is all done by Cebuanos. Without doubt, the Cebuanos are the most musically talented among Filipinos. The song is even recorded in our very own Cebu City. It is performed by no other than our very own Cebuano diva, Raki Vega. A good friend of mine who is also my school mate during my high school days (Of course not in medical assisting school), Mr. Marc Hamlet Mercado is the one who did the violin accompaniment. The song is composed by the talented Cebuano composer, Jude Gitamondoc. It is arranged, recorded, mixed & mastered by Jad Bantug.
Congratulations to all who worked hard on the song! Let’s all make Cebu the musical capital of the Philippines if not the entire Southeast Asia. Let us rise again!
To the incoming administration of President Noynoy Aquino, I challenge you to make play this song in the television stations. Let this become our song of inspiration as we rise again to make the Philippines a better nation to live in.
Here is the lyrics and video of the song “We will rise again” performed by Raki Vega
I can see it now
Crystal clear as day
My people will rise again
Someday soon, somehow,
Somewhere down the way
My people will rise again…
My people, we will rise again
We will learn to spread our wings and fly again
Like an eagle to the distant dawn…
We will rise again.
No more hollow words
No more shallow lies
For tomorrow, we will rise again
No more shattered hopes
No more tattered lives
This time tomorrow, we will rise again…
My people, we will rise again
We will learn to spread our wings and fly again
Like an eagle to the distant dawn
From out the shackles of the past
We’ll be flying free at last
And rising with the morn
We will stand and we will rise again.
And nothing or no one can take my dream from me
I won’t let them, I won’t let them, no, I won’t
For tomorrow, we will rise again…
My people, we will rise again
We will learn to spread our wings and fly again
Like an eagle to the distant dawn…
From out the shackles of the past
We’ll be flying free at last
And rising with the morn
We will stand and we will rise again…
My people, we will rise again.
