Lyrics:
[Intro]
I RETURN.
⸻
[Verse 1]
Ati-Atihan…
I wear the origin on my skin
Not a costume—
I am where we begin
Feathers rising, earth in my veins
I am the memory
That still remains
⸻
[Verse 2]
Kadamayan…
Color, fire, we are one
Red and orange—
We rise as many, not alone
Diamond lines across my frame
Not design—
But a living name
⸻
[Pre-Chorus]
I don’t walk alone
I carry time
In every step
Their voice is mine
⸻
[Chorus]
I burn — I rise — I remain
Woman — fire — break the chain
I burn — I rise — I remain
Phoenix heart — eternal flame
(repeat)
⸻
[Verse 3]
Sinulog…
I move, I bend, I flow
Forward, back—
Still I grow
Red and gold, my spirit leads
Faith in motion
Lives in me
⸻
[Bridge]
Watch me burn—
but not disappear
I choose…
what remains
⸻
[Final Chorus]
I burn — I rise — I remain
Woman — fire — break the chain
I burn — I rise — I remain
Phoenix heart — eternal flame
I burn — I rise — I remain
From the ash — I speak my name
(repeat)
