As If Nothing Happened

Of course
you've hurt me
when you said
I wasn't good enough
but I had always treated you
and I can always treat you
as if nothing happened
because...
you are my family.

Ikaw Pa Rin

Huni ng mga ibon
kasabay ng pag-ihip ng hangin...

Naaalala mo pa ba
ang awit natin sa dalampasigan?

Awit ng pag-ibig, awit ng sumpaan
magpahanggang ngayon
ikaw pa rin.

Swallows

Swallows
finally you've come
the old nest has been waiting for you
lay as many eggs as you can
and let me hear
the songs of your young ones
as I pack my peaches
in summer.

My Life Will go on

I laugh
and I cry
and will cry...
and I laugh.

I cry
and I laugh
and will laugh...
and I cry.

My life will go on
even without...
your love.

So I cry....
and will laugh.

Your Follower

If you wait
I will wait
if you go
I will go...

Whatever you do
I will do
whatever you say
I will say...

I will follow you
without any doubt
because I am
... your follower.

Butterfly, So Naughty Of You

Butterfly
so naughty of you
I'm working here
you're playing there.

Butterfly
so naughty of you
now that I can play with you
you're nowhere to see.

Butterfly
so naughty of you.

With You

Please hold on
I beg you
don't give up
wait...
until the rain is over
and let me see the blue sky
let me play
with the waves in the ocean
let me smell the flowers
...with you.

The Star

One shiny star
I always see at night
I'm sure it has a name
but I dare not to know.

To that one shiny star
I throw my hope and dream
to be with you my love
someday.....somewhere.

This Is My Time

Just let me rise
let me shine
because this is my time.

No matter what you do
you cannot stop
because this is my time.

So, just let me rise
let me shine
because this is my time.

Seed

Like a tiny seed
I'm letting the wind
to carry me
to where I am supposed to be
to where I can grow
to where I can bloom
to where I can bear fruits
and there....
....I shall wither.
