Philippine History 1
The Great Circumnavigation
It is the month to remember
When humanity yearns for hope
Those things will be getting better
Although they're unlimited in scope.
History of our dear country
Encompasses our hopes and fears.
The search for peace and to be free;
Engraved in our smiles through our tears.
It started with Spain's supremacy
Gazing at the roundness of the Earth
A Portuguese-born has to see
That the globe's problem is unearthed.
Over a route in search of spices
An expedition was mulled over
But the toll has got high prices
As spices and gold have their power.
The great circumnavigation
Got impact on humanity
But planted seeds of rebellion
That blooms into disparity.
Lessons gleaned from our brave heroes;
Of their feat against the invaders
Yet we are enveloped with woes
Gleaming like undying embers.
