C Em/B
Hark! listen to the sound
F C
Follow you all around
F C G
Rest your ears close to the ground
C Em/B
Hear worldly advice then
F C
Of men with brave voices
F C G
Buried here, somewhere around
C Em/B F G
It's the same song playing all over
C Em/B F G C
The old song over and over again
C Em/B
Hark! listen to your heart
F C
Speak of the things
F C G
Your eyes were then too young to see
C Em/B
Of a home in the wilderness
F C F
Nurtured by elderly people
C G
So sinless and free
C Am F G
Like the old woman with silver in her hair
C Em F G
Preparing a wonderful meal
C Am F G
Or old songs a barefooted grandfather sung
C Em F
As he perched on his favorite tree
G
Quite so free
Am Em
How is it then that we now come to be
F C
Homeless and forgotten in a land we've set free
Dm C
No grain to sow, no treasures to show
F G C
Is this the way life ought to be?
Interlude: F-G-C-Em-F-G-
C Em/B F C
Halina't pakinggan tinig ng kasaysayan
F C G
Nag-aanyayang balikan
C Em/B F C
Panahong masagana sa biyaya at sa tuwa
F C G
Bawat tao'y pantay-pantay
C Am F G
Ang magsasaka sa sariling lupa niya
C Em F G
Nagtatanim ng payapa
C Am F G
Palay at gulay, prutas na sariwa
C Em F G
Ani'y sapat sa pamilya at bansa
Am Em
Bakit ngayon laganap ang gutom
F C
At lupa'y pag-aari ng iilan lang
Dm C
Sana'y bumalik sagana't tahimik
F G C
Ang buhay na nararapat
C Am F G
Pagsikat ng araw bukid kaulayaw
C Em F G
Ni Tatay at ng kalabaw
C Am F G
Sa bahay naman nagluluto si Nanay
C Em F G
Naglilinis, nagbabantay
C Am F G
Sa mga batang naglalaro ng taguan
C Em F G
At habulan sa bakuran
C Am F G
At sa dapit-hapon pagtunog ng orasyon
C Em F G
Magpapasalamat sa poon
F G C
Sa buhay na pinagpala
