A Song for Ina
The year we lost our treasure
We wondered why she'd disappear
Tho searchers gave full measure
Of love in searching far and near!
Somehow, today she found us
Thru wind and flood; less gilt and chrome!
All hail! Her grace surrounds us!
She has returned! Ina is home!
Refrain:
Whatever calling finds us
Wherever Bicolanos roam
You are the love that binds us
Forever one tho far from home!
You are reconciliation
For pilgrim or Samaritan!
You are our exaltation
O Mother of Kabikolan!
Envoy:
VIVA LA VIRGEN!
NUESTRA SEÑORA
DE PEÑAFRANCIA!
