At The End Of The Day
At the end of the day
let's have dinner together
drink together
laugh together
and sleep together
with me in your arms
so tightly close.
At the end of the day
let's forget about the whole world
and let there be
only you and me
just as in the evening sky
where only the moon and the stars
are shining
...at the end of the day.

Pag-ibig Sa Bayan
Pag-ibig sa bayan
huwag mo lang isigaw
patunayan mo rin
sa pagpapaunlad ng iyong kultura
yaman at galing.
Iyong tandaan
ikaw ang katawan ng bayan
lahat ng papuri
at pintas sa iyo
ay siya ring papuri
at pintas
sa iyong bayan.
Pag-ibig sa bayan
nawa'y huwag mong limutin
bagkus
gawin mong gabay
sa pagpapaunlad ng iyong sarili.

The Painter (Ang Pintor)
The Painter...
He colored the sky
He colored the sea
and even the mountains
and the field.
The Painter...
He colored the roses
and even the birds
and animals
in the farm.
The Painter...
even my life...
He colored.
But the Painter,
I guess no one
have seen Him yet.

A Dream In A Winter Night
When I open my eyes
naked trees already dressed
with snow so clean and white
many little children making snowman
one big big snowman.
I smile
I am happy
but only for this moment
for this moment that I am dreaming
of seing once again
little children
playing under the sun
on a snowy winter morning
all around the neighborhood.

Standstill
Standstill
like the trees in the forest
let not the wind blow you down
hold on until the storm is gone.
Stand Still
let the gentle breeze caress you
and listen to the birds singing
while the sun shines bright.
Stand Still
and slowly close your eyes
as the dark warmly embrace you
in the night.
Stand Still....
as life goes on.

Not Enough Guaranty
You know the game
you know all the rules
but that's not enough guaranty
to win all the time.
You know what is life
you know that doing good things
you will reap good things
but that's not enough guaranty
to be happy all the time.
You say I love you
I say I love you
but that's not enough guaranty
for us to be together all the time.

Busy
I am busy
you are busy
we are busy
but the old woman needs help
to find her way home.
I am busy
you are busy
we are busy
but the dove is too slow
to fly out of the way.
I am busy
you are busy
we are busy
but the children crossing the street
are too many.
I am busy
you are busy

Good Leader
A good leader
is the one
who will lead his people
not to war
but to a better life.
When I say
a better life
it's a life
where hunger
does not exist,
education and medication
is of reach.
So a leader
who could lead his people
to a better life
is the leader
whom I will salute
for he is the only leader

Wondering
Heaven and earth
I'm in the middle
my feet on earth
and my eyes to heaven.
I wonder how it would be
if I have my feet on heaven
and my eyes
to earth...
Maybe I would dream
of reaching the flowers
and the beautiful shells
in the shore...
And maybe
I would paint the ocean
above the moon
and the clouds...

I Believe
I believe there is god
the supreme one
whom people called in different names
to whom people pray in different ways
in different time.
I believe that this god
loves the world
and favors peace
not war
that's why I don't question
and will never question
how you call your god
and how you pray.
I believe there is god
the supreme one....
