Nais mong maabot lipunang malayaIbig mong makamit kaginhawaan ng madlaPaano mo mararating ang pangarap na itoKung bulag ka sa nangyayari sa paligid moTainga mo nama’y bingi sa karaingan ng taoDi mo pinapansin ang kanilang pagsusumamo.Pananaw mo sa buhay‚ bakit ba ganyan?Nais mong tumulong ikaw nama’y nag-aalinlanganIkaw ba’y natatakot iyong karapata’y ipaglaban?O iniisip mo lamang ang sarili mong kapakanan?Nasa pagkilos ang ating paglayaHindi sa pangarap at patunga-tungangaKung hindi ngayon kailan
