TO MINDANAO WITH LOVE

(Jedi)
Bisaya ang kagikan sa akong pamilya
Respeto lang su lupang natawhan
A mother and a child living under fear
Corporate thugs been raping the land for years
Mindanao the southernmost part of the islands
Rich natural resources but the people dying
What would you do when you’re attacked by the government?
Stop Lumad Killings no love for the president

(Precise)
A struggle for land, a struggle to be free
Education is a human right, relevancy
Each one, teach one, planting the seeds
But when the military came, families had to leave
Pack the city streets, a sign of resistance
A rallying cry to organize against a system
Designed to keep us down, but the people rise above
Solidarity…to Mindanao with love

Chorus (SynerG)
The Lumad united won't be defeated
Forced away from our homes
So we take to the streets
And demand our rights--An ongoing fight
Witness the mighty power of the people

The farmers united won't be defeated
Arms chained in the struggle so we take to the streets
And demand our rice--an ongoing fight
Witness the mighty, power of the people

(Intellect)
Live from Mindanao, Surigao
My mother’s homeland struggling for justice now
Bakwit down the mountain to cry out
Marching through the city, Stop Lumad Killings, yelling out
The masses, the youth, and the classes
Struggle everyday against a system so fascist
A tribal war against the crooked corporations
Take back the land from foreign occupation

(ET)
We hiked 6 hours hella far up the mountain
To a school, kids playing all around it
Built by the people hella dedication
To empower every future generation
But the military came and camped out
The people stepped up, said get off our land now
In protest they evacuated down to the city
Saying pull all the troops out now

(Joses)
Coming down the mountains
They been there for thousands
Outsiders want their homes
but they ain’t going quiet
And of course we got their back
United we overstand
Lumad ancestral rights, Land is life
Can you understand?
A is for aguloy
Bigas not bullets
Collapse the crooked ass system that kills us
Defend indigenous
Enough is enough
Fists up, To Mindanao with love

Chorus (SynerG)
The Lumad united won't be defeated
Forced away from our homes so we
Take to the streets and
Demand our rights--an ongoing fight
Witness the mighty, power of the people

The farmers united won't be defeated
Arms chained in the struggle so we take to the streets and
Demand our rice--an ongoing fight
Witness the mighty, power of the people

The people united won't be defeated
Wrest oppressors from their seats
Oust corporate greed
And reclaim our rights--We’ll win this fight
Witness the mighty movement of our people
