When Hit By Lightning

I wonder why
you are so mean to me
I wonder how
you come to think
that you are superior
and I am just a nobody
while both of us dead
when hit by lightning.

Spring Of Change

This springtime
let the spring of change
come into your life.

Say goodbye
to your loneliness
and open your heart for new joys
that this springtime brings.

Freedom

Freedom is not free
you need to pay the price for freedom
and that is to abide the law.

If the law is not giving you freedom
then work
...to change the law.

Unnoticed

I thought I have gone too far
and I was afraid to look back
to see you not there...

I am right...
you're not there....

you've been here beside me
...unnoticed.

Katatagan

Sa kalangitan
hiling ko'y di karangyaan
o kapangyarihan
o papuri
kundi ang katatagan
upang pagkatapos
ng anumang unos
sa aking buhay
ako'y mananatiling
nakatayo.

Pagdiriwang

habang ang mundo ay himbing
alam kong mga anghel sa kalangitan
ay nakikigalak
sa aking pagdiriwang
sa aking kaarawang
tila ako lamang
ang nakakaalam....

tagay na!

Lovely Rose

Oh, my rose
how lovely you are
adding beauty to my garden
I thank you today
for the next few days I know
you will retire to earth
without saying a word
of goodbye.

I Need Time

Time
I need time
to think it once again
to live with you...
or to live without you.

Time
I need time
I need more time
to figure out
if I'm still in love with you.

The Finest Green Tea

No, darling
I no longer want
to climb the highest mountain
I no longer want
to go to the deepest sea.

All I want
is to sit
and drink
this finest green tea
with you.

After A Long Time Separationn

I want to go home
to fix my mama's broken chair.

I want to go home
to play with my little darling.

I want to go home
after a long time separation
from my two beloved.
