\nAll through the years our food it sustains
\nFor its beautiful islands, rivers, beaches and streams
\nTeeming with fishes, crabs, shells and shrimps.
\nWe also have lato and dahunan<\/p>\n
\nIt abounds around the islands, beaches and palms.<\/p>\n
\nVilla has people with hearts of gold
\nHospitable, kind and respectful
\nExtending helping hands to all who are in need
\nTo ease the sorrows and pains as much as they can give.<\/p>\n
\nWe praise You Lord, Holy be Your Name!<\/p>\n
\nBehind them stand strong people of the town
\nHolding hand to support them and share
\nTroubles and sorrows because they care.<\/p>\n
\nI wouldn\u2019t surely reach the apex of my dreams
\nAnd life today wouldn\u2019t be free of troubles
\nBut because of Villa its contentment and leisure.<\/p>\n
\nWhere I will spend the rest of my days,
\nNo way, it\u2019s still Villa I will prefer
\nSans riches and affluence it can claim
\nBut Villa has more to give than fame
\nIt offers an atmosphere of security
\nEmotional stability and harmony with the Lord
\nSo I can proudly shout to say
\nVilla is my home, a home sweet home,
\nFor here my heart is at rest.<\/p>\n
