LISTEN

dedicated to all my fellow citizens

There's in me calling...
There's in me crying...
There's in me begging....
        For affection,
        for love,
        for her children,
        for freedom,
        for justice,
        for change,
        for everyone,

I've known her from my journey,
       She's depressed,
       She's lonely,
       She's alone,
       she wants company...

She told me all her secrets,
She told me all her grievances,
She told me all her sufferings,
She told me all her pains...

She wants you back.
She wants me back.
She wants us all to be in her arms.

Her name I learned.
Her name our mother.
  Our land
The Philippines

We are her lost children.
  Her citizens
     The Filipinos
