I Love You
I love you
it's true
'though I can't say the words to you
in my heart, I am certain...
I love you.
I love you
it's true
even if, I won't be able to let you know
it doesn't matter
I love you still.
I love you
it's true
even though there's no fairy tale for this kind of love
and my mind won't ever dare to ask for an answer
I love you still.
I love you...
my dear net friend.

Ocean Of Tears
Come take my hands
and lift me up
from this ocean of tears.
I'm weary
but I wish to live
and see what is life
beyond this ocean of tears.
Come take my hands
and lift me up
from this ocean of tears.
I beg you
oh, I beg you
be strong enough
to lift me up
because I don't want you
to stay with me
in this ocean of tears.

I Need Not...
I need not
you smile when your heart is drowning with tears.
I need not
you say 'I'm alright'
when you cannot walk on with your journey.
I need not
you stay when it's time for you to go.
I need
to see you cry
when your heart is full of tears.
I need
to hear you say carry me
when you cannot walk on to your journey.
I need
to hear you say goodbye

Bawal Na Pag-ibig
Ang pag-ibig mo
ang pag-ibig ko
di maaring ipahayag
di maaring angkinin.
Kapag aking idinadalangin
na ang pag-ibig na para sa iyo
ay iyong makamtan
ang puso ko'y naghuhumiyaw
sa pagtanggi.
Magkagayunpaman
ay idadalangin ko pa ring
iyong makamtan ang pag-ibig
na maaari mong ipagmalaki.
Ang pag-ibig mo
ang pag-ibig ko
di maaring ipahayag
di maaring angkinin

One Fine Sunday Morning
A little more push,
a little more push
higher, higher
a little more push,
a little more push
oh, I'm almost there.
A little more push,
a little more push
higher, higher
a little more push,
a little more push
oh, I got it,
I got my shoe!
Oh,
what a fine Sunday morning
you and I comparing
whose kick is higher
beside this old peach tree

The Truth
I know the truth
why my country
is still poor.
I can't say the truth
because my country is not willing
to face and accept and do something about it.
Only the truth
is the hindrance
to my country's development.
I know the truth
and I know
everyone knows it.
But the truth
there are those
who accept it and who deny it.

Ang Kalangitan Sa Araw Ng Huwebes Santo
Huwebes Santo
sa kalangitan
na kung saan naruon ang Ama
hindi kaya, mga anghel man
ay balisa
katulad ng Anak
sa hardin ng Gethsemane
bago pa man dumating
ang anghel
na nagbigay ng lakas
sa Anak.
Huwebes Santo
sa kalangitan
hindi kaya, maging ang Ama
ay balisa
at nagnais din na baguhin
ang sarili niyang takda...
kamatayan ng Anak...

After Every Moment Of Joy And Sorrow
Look at me
look at you
look at us...
We are all living
in the same universe.
Crying the same tears
of different sorrow
wearing the same smile
of different joy.
It's not the tears
it's not the smile
it's how we look upon the universe
after every moment
of joy and sorrow
that can bring us together
or make us apart.

Raul
Raul
he made it in the foriegn land
and returned to his country
bought a big house
and a brand new car.
Raul
everytime he drove the car
as if he did not see
the beggars on the street
that he had just let the water from the gutter
to splash on them
while his car moved on.
Raul
when he had a car accident
the people who rushed him to the hospital
that helped save his life
were the beggars on the street.
