My Town
I was born in the town of Cotabato
As disturbed like man, as disturbed like the world
Cause we don't agree with religion and principle, it's a mess
My town Cotabato, as messed up as my head
Don't know where I came from, don't know where to go
Brothers against brothers, flesh against flesh
They are fighting, I don't know the reason
What happened, the answer to my question
Why are you fighting, why are you in conflict
I will respect your principles if you respect mine
If we help each other then my town will be peaceful
My hometown, north Cotabato
I was born to this big conflict
Cause there is no respect for everyones' principles
Fellow Filipinos are the ones' suffering
This is my call, asking for your help
Give peace a chance, peace in my town
Why do we need to fight, you're brothers in blood
When will you all agree, when will we achieve peace in my homeland?
If I can help, I will help wholeheartedly
I offer my guitar, use it if there's conflict
If your enemy has no heart, use your heart
Treat him as a friend
He has heart just like you
Chorus
In my hometown (why is there conflict)
In north cotabato (in north Cotabato)
I was born (when will it end)
To a huge conflict (so big conflict)
Cause there's no respect (when will we agree)
For ones' principles ( the people)
Fellow men (fellowmen)
Is your enemy (why do you fight)
It's messed up
