I know we’ve had fightsBut now I realizeYou were just trying to help meSo I could go on with my life You taught me things that help me get throughSome obstacles in my path, old and new You gave me hope to seeWhat the future bringsYou helped me see the worldAnd the wonder it springs You gave me courage to change my life into something newYou are my dearest […]

When would peace come?Why do we get confused?Why do we think that evil is good?Some don’t understandAnd can not tell apartGood and evil…What is really in our hearts?As long as there is war…All of us will dieSome will die in terrorSome will follow the light.
I can’t help you if I haven’t helped myselfI thought I have learned a lot of thingsBut still I can’t quite understand themI keep a lot of pain in my heartI have kept them for a lot of yearsThey are better left unsaid and heardFor I fear that no one would want to hearPeople really don’t understand meEven though they say they doHow could they know how I feelFor […]
I want out of here.Out of this “paradise”I want to go homeFeel the love I had once knownBut they won’t let me.They love me, so they say.Well do you call loveBeing treated as a slave?“Stop being selfish”They tell me thisWhile all my lifeI’m the one who’s always giving“If you love us, you’ll stay”What about me?You say you love meBut you treat me this wayPlease let me goIf not, I […]
I want to hide from the worldHide from these dreadful facesGo back to the place where I call homeThe place that’s full of warm embraces Everything’s changedCan’t even go backDon’t know where they wentMaybe… I could just wear a mask Please, save meTake me back to where I belongTake me back to the friendly smilesBack to the place where I’m never alone All I do is weepWeep so silently […]
Trapped in this unknownSupposed to be paradiseCan’t go backTo the place you once knewAlthough you’re already pleadingThey really won’t let you Be happyThey sayWhat do they know?You can reach out to themSo they sayBut every time you tryThey just turn their backs on you You weep and you begThey pretend they can’t hear youYou pray and hopeYou scream your heart outUntil you use up everything you have So you […]
Forget the times beforeRemember the little twinkle of the starsTouch the lives of souls around youDo notice the soft breezeAnd the bridges that everyone buildsKiss but lookEnjoy the secrets of the flowersTrust in tomorrowDream about the lovely journey home
Come with meTeach me the waysYou are so much wiserYou’ll help me through the daysYou’ve been with meWhen I cried insideYou’ve healed meAnd made the pain subsideI wish you never left meIt hurts me so muchBut I’ll cherish foreverThe memories of usYou taught me thingsThat helped me realizeI can stand on my own two feetI have the strength inside
I wanted to fly high and be freeI wanted to solve life’s mysteriesThere was so much I could doBut in one single day it all blew Away I went to rejoin the skyWatching all the others’ lives pass byI could say I was freeSince pain wasn’t there to deceive me But then again I was lonelyFloating around the worldI realized then the greatest thingLife – embrace what it brings […]
I’m making this hellAnd you say you hate meBut you don’t want me to go awayBut if I stay longerYou’re gonna go to the extremesAnd I will too…I know you know what’s on my mindAnd still you sayI have to stayAnd then what?Continue to make both our worldsA living hell?Why can’t you just let me go backI didn’t want to be here.You’re the one who pushed meInto being hereWe […]
I forgot how to have funI forgot how to live under the sunI forgot how to live dangerouslyI forgot how to disagreeI forgot how to talk with my friendsI forgot how to pretendI forgot how to love someoneI forgot how it feels to be loved
I’ll leave this place that I’ve grown to loveThe peacefulness which is calmingThe people who have shown me how to riseHow to be myself… I’m going to go and live a new lifeIn a new world full of new facesFaces of strangers that I will meetBut faces I’ll leave behind soon I’ll make the most out of the lasting momentsCherish everything that comesI’m glad to be hereI know I’ll […]
Seconds that passAre thousands of yearsStomachs growlingEyes filled with tears Believers stand upAnd find a wayThe hopeless sit downAnd wait for their day The mother hugs her childTells her it’s okayThe father sets offAnd takes their money away Some share foodTo others with gleeSome keep it to themselvesAnd watch people die in misery.
I dreamt that I was with himI was beside himHe was driving down Katipunan RoadThen I saw a band playingAnd there were lots of peopleI opened my windowI heard kahit kailan playingThen I just put my side in his sideMy arm was wrapped in his armAnd I can feel himIt was like it’s realI can feel himI can really feel himAnd it was like heaven
I try to hide thingsAnd leave people wonderingWhat’s inside my heartIs it whole or torn apartBut nobody just seemsTo look into meFor in my eyesYou will seeThe pain that life brings me
My Friend, My Friend My friend, my friendWhere did you go?You told me you’re going to be thereBut you never did come home My friend, my friendI hope you’re alrightIt was just a simple gameAnd you tried with all your might My friend, my friendPlease be safe from harmCome back home to the people who love youCome back home safe and warm My friend, my friendThough I may seem […]
