01 Falling Asunder  02 Standing Together

01 Falling Asunder

Cry my country with the tears of prayer

When the world looks upon us in contempt

Despite of all our noble attempts

To hold the land from falling asunder

Perhaps our hearts could at least bless the day

For we are still one although divided

Silently wishing to be united

Whatever some may treacherously say

We could cry to ourselves and to our God 

               With honest tears that sanctifies the land 

                  And revive its spirit to once more rise           

            We could join together and face the odds            Soneta 011

               In a new brotherhood to make a stand                 Sonetaria

                  Or else, let the nation despair and die                  AD 2002

02 Standing Together

Cry my country for our poor soldiers

When many are cursing their lonely call

And even scheming to make them small

With a treatment blatantly improper

It could not be right to wish for their fall

Defenders of the nation and its flag

Who have sacrificed despite of their lack

Not counting the cost, giving all for all        

                                             No one should desire to see them in rags

                                                Despised, rejected and forgotten

My Country!                                A cause of shame to their sons and daughters

Soneta 021                            Let every heart speak now and humbly beg:

Sonetaria                                 ‘We, as a nation, would share this moment,

AD 2002                                       Whatever their faults we too are sinners’

                                                                                                            [Back]
