Sa bawat hakbang sa kalsadang saksi sa ating tapang, muling umaalingawngaw ang himig ng paglaya. Hindi kailanman mababaon sa limot ang bakas ng mga bisig na nagbuklod laban sa dilim.

Apatnapung taon man ang nakalipas, buhay pa rin ang panata para sa gobyernong tapat at katarungang walang kinikilingan. Ngayong ika-40 anibersaryo, hayaang maging mitsa ang ating pag-alala upang muling mag-alab ang diwa ng EDSA.

Maging tanglaw nawa ang nag-aalab na alaalang ito upang sa gitna ng anumang mapanlinlang na dilim, manatiling gising ang ating mga mata.

Dahil ang namulat ay hindi na muling pipikit.
