Manong (feat. BJ Alisago)

Where are your dreams, oh my father?
Burned by the heat of the delta sun
Nowhere to turn, nowhere to run
Now I can feel your pain

Where's your promise of hope, oh my father?
Buried in fields with your blood and tears
Lost in the dark of a thousand fears
Now what will they leave you now?

We will not forget you
You gave us all that you could give
We will not forsake you
We will remember how you lived
We will not forget you
We will remember how you lived

And we will dream
And we will dream

I'm the child of your dreams oh my father
Born with the lies of equality
Lands grown rich off your poverty
Now they have stripped our souls

They will kill you for sure, oh my father
Fingers twisted by the crops you pick
Your backs now bent, your lungs made sick
Want to ease the pain

We will not forget you
You gave us all that you could give
We will not forsake you
We will remember how you lived
We will not forget you
We will remember how you lived

And we will dream
And we will dream

Walk with me again, oh my father
Down to a place by the riverside
Where we made our plans for a better life
Many years, many years ago

And we will dream
And we will dream
