BATANG MINDANAW: Hustisya

Ilang taon na naman bang hihintayin?
Umiitim na ang hangin,
Umabot na tayo sa anim,
Hustisya’y di parin mapasamin.

Umiiyak na ang araw,
Mga luha ay umaapaw,
Kaluluwa ng mga pumanaw,
Di matahimik, sigaw nang sigaw.

(ref:)

Isang salita lang ang kailangan,
Tatlong pantig ng yong malaman,
Aming sinisigaw, aming ginagapang

Nag-aapoy na mga dugo,
Wasak na wasak man ang aming puso,
Di pa rin kami susuko,
Ito’y pagsubok lang.

(cho:)

Hustisya (3x)

Ngayon ay magpipito na,
Di parin ba makakakita,
Mga piring sa inyong mga mata,

Di parin ba mawawala?

(ref:)

Isang salita lang ang kailangan,
Tatlong pantig ng yong malaman,
Aming sinisigaw, aming ginagapang
Nag-aapoy na mga dugo,
Wasak na wasak man ang aming puso,
Di pa rin kami susuko, Itoy pagsubok lang.

(cho:)

Hustisya (3x)

Ilang taon na naman bang hihintayin?
Umiitim na ang hangin.
Hustisya.
