Let me tell you a story Of a man named Rizal He was a Filipino martyr Who saved us all The Spanish shot him down But it did them no good Because with his death The whole country suddenly stood In a state of rebellion His poetry sparked emotion His death was the final straw It was the magic potion Rizal's words were deep They defied Spanish logic Our children were mistreated So we fought with those who caused it. Bonifacio led the war And yes we did prevail Rizal's words were the key They made evil set sail But the war still isn't over The Spanish were not the threat The Americans came over And sentenced us to our death.
