Judas' Kiss
Are you going to kiss me
just like what Judas did to Jesus?
Are you selling me
to the man in the big house?
Do you want me to join
the women in the big house
who are not allowed to see the world?
Oh, father, father
please don't give me that judas' kiss
I promise I'll be like a man working in your farm
where the trees are old and dying.
Oh, father, father
please don't give me that judas' kiss
and just let me be free
to marry the one I love.

Get Drunk Tonight
I wanna get drunk tonight
get drunk, so drunk
and travel beyond time
where I can see my youth
only my youth
where you were so in love with me
and I was so in love with you.
I wanna get drunk tonight
get drunk, so drunk
and travel beyond eternity
where I can see you and I
no one else
but you and I
loving each other.
I wanna get drunk tonight
get drunk, so drunk
so you will carry me
hold me

It Will Be Wonderful
Yes,
maybe alone
I can climb the mountain
but it will be wonderful
if you climb with me.
Yes,
maybe alone
I can cross the river
but it will be wonderful
if you will cross with me.
Yes,
maybe alone
I can live long
but it will be wonderful
if you will live with me.
Yes,
maybe alone

Are You Happy?
Think not much of the past
cry no more for the love that went away
can't you see?
you've been crying all these time
are you happy?
Worry not much of the future
stop running around
here and there
every now and then
can't you see?
you even forgot to dial
your mom's number on her birthday
are you happy?
Why think too much of the past?
why worry too much of the future?
you don't have them in your hands now....
are you happy? ...
are you happy now?

Don't Say Goodbye On This Rainy Days
I know
I've never been good to you
but please
I beg you
Oh, don't say say goodbye
on this rainy days
'cause I don't want to cry
in the rain.
This rainy days
I need you to hold me close
as I listen to the sound of the rain
while I close my eyes.
So please
oh, don't say goodbye
on this rainy days
'cause I don't want to be alone
listening to the sound
of the rain.

This Changing World
This changing world...
where children hear
not only the voice of their mother
where children eat
not only the food that their mother cooked
where children sing
not only the songs of their native tongue
where children no longer play
with butterflies outdoor...
We need to be more stronger
more wiser
more confident
more understanding
more loving
more caring
and more connected
to one another
to make this changing world
a better place to live

Lunti
Kapirasong pangarap
ang tanging dala-dala
sa ibayong dagat
duo'y napadpad.
Bakit nga ba
kailangan pang lumisan
gayung
may lunti din naman
sa pinagmulan.
Aah,
ang lunti doon
ay di ko pag-aari
hanggang tingin lamang
at hindi malapitan.
Ano nga ba
sa akin ang saysay
ng mga lunti doon

The Same Story, The same History
...and so the same story is told
the same history is made....
why always speak of descrimination
why always speak of war
why always speak of class
why always speak of injustice
why always speak of poverty
why always speak of rebellion....
why not speak of equality
why not speak of peace
why not speak of respect
why not speak of wisdom
why not speak of production
why not speak of working together...
...and so the same story is told
the same history is made.

Goodnight Little Darling
Goodnight,
sleep tight little darling
the angels
will soon come down
to guard you
while you sleep.
Oh, no
little darling
you need not wait
for them
because they have rules
not to enter your room
when you're awake.
And please,
don't ask me why
little darling
because I promised
to make it a secret.
