Mga pangarap, tanim sa isipan
Ang pagusbong, butil ng kaunlaran
Koda 1
Dito tayo nagkaisip, lumaking may paggalang,
Hinubog sa tamang ugali ng magulang;
Ang madilim na landasin, hindi ito hadlang,
Upang mapaunlad itong ating munting bayan
Koro
BatangRizal, iyong mararating
Ang pangarap mo, mahirap ma’y maaabot din.
