Tinukso mo ako ng iyong maskara
Ang pinto **** bakal ay nagmukhang pilak
Mga bintana mo'y tila walang sara
Ang bawat sulok mo'y humahalimuyak

Akong naghahanap ng lugar sa mundo
Namalik-mata nga't naakit mo agad
Sa mga pangako'y nadala't natukso
Naghintay ng dulot, magagarang gawad

Sa aking pagyakap sa pintong makinang
Ngiti ko'y sumilay, nag-isip, nangarap
Akala ko'y lungkot dito'y mapupunan
Saya ang papalit sa dusa at hirap

Subalit nagulat sa aking pagmulat
Ang pinto **** pilak ay puro kalawang
Mga bintana mo'y  nabuway ng lahat
Ang bawat sulok mo'y amoy basurahan

Paano pa ako ngingiti, sasaya
Kung ang pangarap ko ay biglang naglaho?
Mabubuhay ka bang kuntento't payapa
Sa lugar na itong ngayo'y gumuguho?

Nais kong tumakas, lumayo, tumakbo
Sa bilangguan kong kakila-kilabot
Subalit kadena ko'y mayroong kandado
Kasama ba akong mababaon sa limot?

Hindi! Ang sigaw ng matapang kong puso
Kadena sa paa'y aking wawakasan
Mabubuhay ako na hindi bilanggo
Ipaglalaban ko, aking kalayaan!

There was a story that I once told
Nobody believed me, felt they were so cold
I was hopeless to see a heart made of gold
Who could understand my story ten times fold

There was a woman who smiles in everything
In every moment, every situation that it brings
She was there hiding behind the mask while she sings
Nobody knows her tears, she's holding on to her last string

There was a story that I once cried with you
Now it was just a story to recall when I want to
Seeing us together, strong and faithful as we grow
There was a story, now I can't recall but you.

This is me-

When I commit myself to something,
I will do it by hook or by crook
When I commit myself to someone,
I will love him no matter what

So whatever happens,  whatever arrives
Be it a chance that could change my life,
I will never break this promise
I made before God and our hearts

This is me, and this is my commitment
I will always love you and it means forever.

Hold me tight and never let me go
In this time that I want to be free
I want to escape from the cruelty of this world
If only God heared my plea so long ago
I might be free from harm and heartaches of this life
I might be at peace and no worries and doubts
I might not be like this just trying to be alive
While I am already dead inside -my soul, my heart.

Hold my hand and let me see
Let me feel I am not alone
Let me know I have someone beside me
Let me realize sadness will soon be thrown

Hold my hand and dance with me
Let me play the music of our love
Let us sway and let us be
Like cotton clouds dancing up above

Hold my hand until forevermore
Hold my heart with love that I adore...

I was once hurt
When someone
Has bitten me on the back

I once cried and pout
When a man
Has cheated me, full-packed

I was once on the ground
Stood and fought
Started moving on

I once pulled myself
Though it's hard
That I'll be happy, someday, soon

Now, I am standing
Here I walk
Trying to use my feet

Going to my destiny
Hold joy forever
With happiness that I shall meet

This is what you need
To have faith, not fear
Someday you will see

When love hurts much
Stop, live, move on
Throw the memories, set it free!

I am but a small child watching
Men and women, here and there
In every corner there's a heart, caring
I can hear love songs everywhere

Two people from different ends, dating
Words in real world, unspoken
Here in white canvass they're painting
All is fair in love, sides are even

I am wondering what is this love
What is the miracle that it creates?
Why two people could meet up above
Why are they call themselves as soulmates?

I am but a small child watching
I even wonder what love will do to me
When I grow up, could I be that caring?
When I fall in love, what kind of woman could I be?

I know my emotion is not stable
Up and down, down and up
But I am so glad you're on the other end
You keep my life balanced, you saved me with your love

There's a cup in here, my love
Filled with coffee, a secret brand
I poured my sugar, sweet enough
Then mixed with cream I have at hand

Here's the coffee now, my dear
Sip with love while it is hot
Feel the creamier blend like us
Hug and kiss are desserts you've got!

There's a mansion that I know
Where many people come and go
The owner invites visitors each day
Then entertains them, let them stay

The guests are happy, they feel good
There are many free clothes and foods
They celebrate a party each night
They eat and dance until the first light

Since all the guests are good people
They're not selfish nor ungrateful
They work for free, they clean each part
Love the place from the bottom of their hearts

But the owner turns into someone
Who doesn't understands who's a free man
He starts treating each guest like a child
There comes a time he acts so wild

The rumors spread to all the guests
They start to observe, make their quests
Each day one of them finds something
That makes him leave on the next morning

There's a mansion that I know
Where many people come and go
Each door has a secret to unfold
Will you come to that place to find a gold?

I am with you always
In heart and mind
I always think of you
Especially now-
Who are you with?
What are you doing?
How do you feel?
It's the same feeling
While I am waiting for the day
That I can answer those questions
By merely looking at you
While you are resting by my side

You said there should be
No more lost-hope moments
While others choose not to trust
Could you still listen to me?
While others see the dark side of me
Could you still see my light?
I will still have this hope
That we are two different people-
   I am the flicker in this darkness
   You are swimming against the flow

Could you tell me I'm right?

Watching the sea
Counting the waves
Am I still sane?

Building castles
Out of the sand
To be washed away

Singing our song
Whispers to the wind
Will you hear me, dear?

Sunrise, I have seen
Now at sunset, I gaze
Waiting for the rain

Wish you give a look
A moment on this shore
While footprints are still here

She undressed in front of the mirror
Then stared at it once again
To that amazing canvass for years
To it, painted every emotion
Every pain, every laughter
Yes, both her joy and sadness
The storms she has faced
The mountains she has climbed
The seas, the rivers, the lakes
Every wave she passed
But the most beautiful painting
Was the man holding a glass bird
It is there, where she can hear her heartbeats

That's what I feel
When you go to work
When you have to say bye
When you have to leave for a while

How much more if
You won't come home tonight?

I am married...
to the man who stole my heart
to him who never departs
to him who helped me start anew
to him my love will continuously grow

I am married...
to the man who cares for me
to him who'll always be
my angel and my knight
my love, my forever light!

You're so amazing
Always adorable for me
When you move,
It always makes me smile
When you talk,
It always touches my heart
Looking at your angelic face
Makes me happy all the time
My adorable angel,
In this lifetime, would you be mine?

I have received many gifts from God--
      *love
      hope
      understanding
      per­severance
      talents and skills

I have faced many storms
In this journey we called life
But my gifts are enough
To move on

I might have bigger problems
But my God makes the biggest miracles
*I am not afraid anymore

Two decades and still
You're the Lighthouse
On the shore of my heart

Decades may turn into centuries
And you will still be the same Lighthouse
Spreading your rays into the walls
Of my heart

Centuries may turn into eternity
And you will be the Lighthouse
That forever shines
Into the hearts of those
Who will remember our story

You are the Lighthouse
I am the sea
And this is our story*.

Only love matters.

I know you are good in assumptions
Your assessments are the best
Even the things only One would know
Because you are a fine judge
Who you think you are

But your judgment now is not
What matters at all

Do you know?
Your joy is hers, too
Your sadness will break her heart
Your fall is her fall
Your triumph makes her proud
You are just two different bodies
But one in spirit

Do you know?
She's all yours
Heart, body and soul

That girl in the rain
You found yesterday
Who was crying alone
Now that you're with her
She still cries, but not in pain
There are tears of joy
And smiles and laughter
Because you came
An angel to her

That girl in the rain
Who saw rain like tears
Now that you opened her eyes
Rain becomes a beautiful thing
You never leave her
Together, you dance in the rain

I can see clearly
Two shadows under the rain--
A man with wings
And *that girl in the rain.

I thought I was good enough
To earn everyone’s love
I shared my life—
I offered my shoulders
I opened my arms
I listened to their pleas
I carried their loads
I gave everything in me
Everything
Until I find myself helpless
Weak and hopeless
Because there’s nothing left after all

I wept and felt all alone
But I was still wrong
I thought there’s no one left
But still there’s You
The One who stays
No matter what

When everybody walks away
You never leave me,
My Lord.

We were both given
A second chance to be happy
Should we take it for granted?
Problems are just normal
Parts of this troubled journey
If we stop for a small obstacle
The chance to reach the end of the path
Will be impossible
We have been struggling against the storms
We face them together
I know we can still go on
Because this is our second chance
And we won't take this for granted...
