Here are the lyrics of the song Pamana performed by Glaiza de Castro:
Nang lumikha ng mundo si Bathala
‘di nagkait sa ganda at biyaya
Ang kaloob sa’tin ay kalikasang sagana, malaya
Halik ng langit sa lupang malayo
O Pilipinas, pag-asang pangako
Paraisong tibok ay pagsinta
O Pilipinas, pag-asang pamana

Halik ng langit sa lupang malayo
O Pilipinas, pag-asang pangako
Paraisong tibok ay pagsinta
O Pilipinas, pag-asang pamana
Tila nalimot na ika’y maharlika
Yamang minana’y pinabayaan binalewala
Nalupig man tayo sa’ting nakaraan
Tayo’y babangon, pag-angat ay simulan
SEE: Puerto Princesa Subterranean River, ultimate natural wonder of the world
Bayang tahanan na ipaglalaban
Lupang minana dugo ang puhunan
Gintong perlas hinubog sa dusa
O Pilipinas, pag-asang pamana
Bayang magiliw, ituloy natin ang kwento
Iangat ang lahi, taas noo Pilipino
Ingatan natin bansang iisa
Magandang bukas ang ating pamana

Pamana is scheduled to go on air over GMA Network on June 23 at 3PM.
