Ilang dekada man ang lumipas,
Ngalan ng mga bayani ay hindi kukupas.
Kanilang kagitingan, hindi malilimutan,
Nakataga sa puso't isipan, kanilang napatunayan.

Ating nakamit ang tagumpay,
Ito ay dahil sa pag-alay ng kanilang sariling buhay.
Nagpakahirap upang malutas
Ang watawat na puno ng butas.

Ngalan nila ay 'di malilimutan,
Kanilang sakripisyo ay tatandaan.
Sila ang mga bayani ng bansang Pilipinas,
Sa kanila galing ang payapang naipamalas.

- Paggunita sa Araw ng mga Bayani.
