Hindi niyo ba nakikita
Ang kanilang panlilinlang sa taong bayan
Sa pagpapakita ng malayang lansangan
Ngunit ang totoo'y sila ang kapahamakan

Apat na dekada nang nakalipas
Bata, matanda, sanggol, walang takas
Walang takas sa pagmanalupit ng mga pulis at sundalo
Ang nakaraan, hindi ba tayo natuto?

Mga pulis ay nagkalat
Mga sundalo'y laganap at dumadami
Kahit saan lumingon, sila ang matatanaw
Nagmamasid, nag-iikot, baril ay nasa tabi

Putok ng baril biglaang maririnig
Kasunod ay balitang may nabaril
Iisa ang rason: nanlaban
Ang tanong, nanlaban ba o kunwariang nanlaban?

Kanilang pagkatok
Biglaang pasok
Naghalungkat na walang pahintulot
Tama pa ba ito?

Mga tao'y hinahayaan lang
Ang mga naglalakad na kapahamakan
Dahil sa takot na sila'y tauhan ng presidente
Isang kamay sa bibig, kabila'y sa mata

Unti-unti nang nagpaparamdam
Ang pagbalik muli ng setyembre bente-tres
Tao'y nabulag, hanggang ngayon ganon parin
Kailan kaya magigising ang tao, kapag huli na ba ang lahat?

Bibitawan ko
At hahayaan
Ang agos na ang magdala
Sa aking nararamdaman
At kung ito'y mapadpad ulit sa dalampasigan
Baka sakali'y ito'y maaari
Nang pansinin ulit, at
Sa pangalawang pagkakataon
Ay subukan muli

On this very bed, I lay down beside you
With blankets keeping us warm
A faint light to see your kind face
And exchanging breaths
For our face are as close
As the sun meets the horizon
As darkness covers the sky

Love, I pray for your happiness
I may not be the one you see
As the night falls, and
As the morning is born
But know that I'll always be there

As this night ends
Let me tell you this:
Just like the stars in the sky
And the moon during morning shine
I may not be visible
But I am there with you

I saw you walk down the street
20 meters from where I was
I caught your gazing eyes
And your sun-like smile

Our eyes met
I stopped, I staggered
Unable to move 1 inch closer to you
Yet, you moved 1 inch closer to me

I was hesitant
But you were not
You kept on walking towards my direction
I wanted to run away
But I know I couldn't
I couldn't run away from you

You knew I wanted to
But you held my hand
Your gentle press
Let me knew that it was fate
A fate for the both of us

To meet in this single space
In this time of day
In this very moment
That it was not a coincidence
Nor an accident for us

I know I may regret
Meeting you that day
But still, I didn't stop
And here we are now
I am the one walking towards you
And towards the fate we will forever be bounded to

As the clock hits 12
I thought of you once again
As the rain started to drop
My tears went with the rhythm

I hear the drops falling on the roof
Like the tears fell on my stained shirt
The clouds covering the night sky
Like the piled up tears on my eyes

I guess the gods know everything
Even down to my very emotion
A sudden rain on a midnight
In the midnight where i thought of you again

The night falls
Moonlight shining
Eyes widening
Cold and pale skin
Dry lips
Tangled hair
And all i see is you
Underneath the moonlight
Caressing my hair
Wetting my dry lips
Warming my cold and pale skin
Eyes closing
And all i can sense is you

As I lay my eyes on you
All I think of is
How beautiful the morning and night would be
If you'll be beside me always
