I Only Have Two Hands

Oh, my Lord
I only have two hands
to receive your gifts
I beg you to give me just enough
to carry with these hands.

Just Like Today

I don't look back
to yesterday
'cause you were not there.

I dream of tomorrow
to be with you
....just like today.

Biyaya ng Langit

Biyaya ng langit
pag-ibig sa sanlibutan...

Subalit ang sanlibutan,
ay patuloy na naghahangad
ng panandaliang yaman.

Tiny Bloom

Oh, tiny bloom
in the garden not tended
wait
untill the girl picks you up
and feel the joy
when adored
by her mother.

In Separate Ways

two cups
minus one

two toothbrushes
minus one

two pillows
minus one

you and me
now only me

we are
in separate ways.

Heaven and Hell

in heaven
you will pray to live
you will pray for no ending...

in hell
you will pray to die
you will pray for an ending.

Bukang Liwayway (w/english 'Sunrise')

munting pipit
saan ngayon ang iyong tungo?
bukang liwayway.

-english-

little bird
where are you going?
sun rises.

Because I'm Alive

I share
because I care
I care
because I love
I love
because I belong
I belong
because I am one
I am one
because... I'm alive!

Still Mid-August

It's still mid-August
but in my heart
it's already November
for you have brought me
the coldness of autumn
with your goodbye.

Next Summer

Autumn is here
no more peaches to sell
so long my friend
I hope you come
and see me next summer
to buy peaches from me
...again
