THE CRY OF THE CHILD IS
NOW THE CRY OF THE NATIVE
Dedicated to the people in the ARMM
I am the Native of this Land, I am he who has the right to reap its fruits, and to select my Leader.
I am he who dreams to see this land Beautiful. I am he who shall take the green of its pastures, the Mine on its surface, the might of its rivers.
I am he who fashions them with my hands, my heart, my mind. I am he who struggles to transform them into life and power, to reach the star of my dream.
I am he who defends this land from foreign invasion. I am he who donates blood to regain its sovereignty.
I am he who suffers every time the bullets sprayed on its surface. I am he who has the courage and passion to build this land until the world shall know my strength.
I am he who hears the cry of my people, longing for dignity which you have expelled from them. I am but I am a citizen of the world with equal right to live on its surface. I am a dreamer, like ordinary human whose strength depends on you.
This is my dream, your dream, our dream. So heed me, for the future is mine…
