(Change to Master Change)
Things in our world are speeding up again...
If ever you feel confused about the goings on in our world...
You must remember to focus...
You must remember who we are*, my fellow Filipinos...
all we have discovered about ourselves...
(*So that even without the words
we shall be the meaning in our nationhood
and the soul that lives in our Country
shall sing to our songs!)
You must remember to place
both your attention and your heart
in the service of everything*
that improve the peace of our Country
and strengthen the unity of our peoples
as a nation among nations.
(*In a million forms, in a million ways, serve -
loving one another and building up the earth.
In a million forms, in a million ways, serve -
dwelling with each other in the Peace of God
being united (in Spirit) as the LORD is united.
[As God is one, be thou one heart, one mind -
going forth and doing what War does not expect!]
In a million forms, in a million ways, serve -
upholding the purpose of our coming together
as one nation among nations sown upon the earth;
dwelling always in unity, understanding now
with an understanding of the truth
the labor set before us and the work purposed
for the economy of our generations -
the labor of peace!)
Above all God.
Then we will as a Republic
stand strong against these changes
like the bamboo have evolved to master the storm.
For we will as one nation
shine out against these uncertainties
changing in our hearts to master change.
