I AM DIGONG
Spare me your tears, co'z I don't need it
Spare me your praises, co'z I don't want it
I've done my best, my very best
It's all up to you to do the rest
Don't rescue me, I've long been free
From doubts or fear, and mental slavery
My limbs and knees may all be weak
But my mind and soul nothing can shake
I gave you everything including guns
But you let me go to where I am
Alone and cold in foriegn land
All left to die in foriegn hands
Your hope and freedom are not with me
Im old and broke can't you see?
All you need is to see the light
Open your eyes and learn to fight
Forgive me if I fell short as a your leader
I guess I made more fanatics than believers
Or may be I didn't have that much time
To see you all rise and shine
I'm too weak, too tired and broken hearted
Beaten by drug addict is not what I wanted
Still I tip my hat to Marcos and Torre
They showed more balls than the police & military
I hope I'm wrong with my conclusions
I'm all but burned with my frustrations
Waiting in vain for something to happen
That patriotisms inside them will be awakened
Are Filipinos worth dying for?
My answer is yes that's for sure
I'm putting all my hopes to our uniformed men
To fight for justice and our country men
What can I do inside this cell?
Even the date and time I can not tell
Do we have enough patriots to fight out there?
I can only wish it in my prayer
I will fight for the Filipino until my last breath
Nothing can stop me except death
I will die proud I will die fighting
Because I am not a Filipino for nothing
