Manila's Melody
By Manila Bay where sunsets glow,
The city's heartbeat steady flows.
From Intramuros' ancient walls,
To modern malls where laughter calls.
In streets alive with ceaseless cheer,
Manila's spirit draws you near.
With jeepneys bright and history grand,
Manila, a vibrant land.
Through every dawn, through every night,
Manila shines with endless light.
From Rizal Park to Chinatown's grace,
Manila, a cherished place.
In every song, in every dance,
Manila's heart takes a chance.
With every beat, with every sigh,
Manila's soul will never die.
