We're stuck in a terrible traffic jam Of a river of red lights. At the car dashboard there is a faint green glow: It's 11 pm. I already feel tired for tomorrow Even if it hasn't started yet For I know I have to wake up at 5 am.
As my mind fills with fatigue and frustration I hope in my heart That my dad would never stop driving. I wish that he would drive d r i v e d r i v e and d r i v e To wherever the road takes us and just Let the dim orange street lamps lead us To a brighter tomorrow.
I beg to break free from the city borders for I can't seem to take the stress out of me So just take me out of the stress. Let this auto's mechanical hum Drown my thoughts. Let every revolution of the wheel Oust the monsters reigning, Preying on my mind.
The greens of the rain forests and rice fields, The blues of the mountains and the ocean Would zoom in smudged colors In the artwork that is my window. Roll it open and the wind Would gently kiss my face and stroke my hair. I will sigh, Releasing the remnants of My exhaustion and combusted fossils exhausted, And filling my lungs with the air smelling Of pine trees and the ocean breeze.
So I hope that we would never stop driving, And let the road take us anywhere I don't really care As long as its Anywhere but here.
Manila traffic is the worst and with the Skyway 3 construction coming up, I don't know anymore. God spare us please.
