Three Stars and a Sun

by Francis Magalona

Three stars and a sun in one sky so high
I live and die and die will I for my
Motherland, this is the land of my birth
No purse is worth the price of this earth

Can we rise, can we all
Hell no, or should we all just take the fall
Bless the man if his heart and his land are one
The three stars and a sun

Three stars and a sun
I'm ready to defend the three stars and a sun
Three stars and a sun
I'm ready to defend the three stars and a sun

Omission to a mission, transport for the brain
Packed with stacks of tracks built for a train
I eat lead but I never let it be said
"He said, she said," it makes me see red

'Cause I don't take bullshit
And I'm a-pack it and push it and hit you with the full clip
Switch to mode lock-'n'-load in the land of Juan
The three stars and a sun

Yeah

We hail [3x]
Bahay kubo, kahit munti
May pula, bughaw, dilaw at saka puti

There is a need to sow the seed
You gotta toil the soil and plod until your hands bleed
'Cause this land is sacred
Many a-battle have been fought with hatred

Don't tell me that you understand
It's been four hundred years of tears for the brown man
Still and all the fight has just begun
For three stars and a sun

Bahay kubo, kahit munti
