Rainbow across Bamban River, Tarlac
Rise up from the sea and come down as rain;
wake the ponds and drench the hills
to make the brooks laugh and the rivers swell;
fill the lakes and make the fields green,
the trees and the mountains;
show your ephemeral beauty in changing faces
in rainbow and a myriad figures,
delight many a child to draw, to dream
and to grow.
Rise, rise up and be weaned, to be free;
and if one day the water of the sea is not enough,
drink, drink deep from my little cup. ~
