Key: D minor•
Verse 1
My personal conversion began with
the events that brought people power
to the attention of the world in 1986.
Born and raised a Catholic,
I had rebelled against my faith
years before.
But in 1985, by some quirk of fate,
I found myself at Lunetta
for the commemoration of
the end of the Marian year.
My son had been one of those chosen to lead,
alongside cardinal sin,
an act of entrustment to the
Blessed Virgin Mary.
Though I no longer believed
in these expressions of Catholic piety,
as a mother I found myself
echoing my son's words,
and thus consecrated myself to
Mary's immaculate heart.

on the night when Raggio Bandido
emerged as a voice of hope
from the deafening silence
of the airwaves of fear.
Fifteen years later,
the children of the people
who were the spiritual warriors of 1986
emerged and poured into EDSA
by the hundreds of thousands.
As I stood on that stage
on the night of January 17, 2001,
and looked down at their eager faces,
I realized with a great sense of awe
that God was again moving in our land.

los Santos Avenue,
Edsa 1 and 2.
And so, with the rest of
our nation and our people,
I too echo our mother's words.
My soul magnifies the
greatness of the Lord,
