I heard the Thunder's wrath
But I was so assured that I can breathe
In His awakening breath called "life,"
While the waves urge to lie,
To distort or tear down one's walls
Dark turns darker,
In his flesh, he alone calls.

There're colors over the street
And they seemed embarrassed when the Lighting came
His eyes are on fire, some have never adorned
Their strength, by their might
A cloth and shelter of their own.

Those colors depict hope, One's full revelation
Scattered unto nations but some denied, left behind
And by their feet, they've trampled it down
And have let no fear in Him
Dwell unto their hearts; instead, boast on their crowns.

So again, those colors unfold a promise --
A promise of reliance when we're about to be drowned in the sea,
A crowning glory full of assurance and confidence
That we shall arise as One Nation
And the waiting will be over.

When before, we started to call
He has left no one hanging on a tree
While such faces were getting too close
And it's too much.


Too much to bear that the freedom they boast
Is no longer in Truth,
And they laugh while drinking
Into their own blood
Sealed with their own names
That they rather put colors
In variance and forget that it's a loss of purpose.

Words were floating upon them
But they yearn for pride
For their very own indulgent
Turned out to be their way and it has become "final" to them
That they're ever free to choose and do.

Why is it when we speak the Truth
People scatter and grumble
As their faith, distort
In the loss of confusion.


If grace then was a lottery
Then there'll be no salvation
But indeed it was free,
So why don't one grab it
And embrace redemption.

Yes, we can love but be still in His grace
Coz hope isn't to perish for the ones who call for it
Never dethroning the One who first spoke
So please, do things not because of wants and for earning.

I would love it when the Sun comes down now
But grace is the period and we call it "now"
So friends whom we love
Do seek righteousness and grip on it in tight
Coz when the latter day comes,
One will perish while one is left behind.

If we seek the Truth
Truly, let the heart endures
Let revival take the sword and fight for its cause.
No more crying for the ones you wished there were more
So now, never lack
Even a moment to recall.

Nakakalungkot isipin,
na sa hulng pagkakataon ng buhay ko nais ko lamang iparinig sayo ang kaisa isang daing ng buhay ko.
ang salitang mahal kita.

Ang tagal kong pinag isipan kung papakawalan ko ba
o hahayaan ko na lang lumipas pa ang mga araw
oo, ang mga araw na naging linggo ngunit ayoko kong maging buwan para patagalin at di na muling sabihin pa.

oo mahal pa rin kita
kahit alam kong hindi na tama
kahit alam kong hanggang dito na lang at wala ng patutunguhan pa.

oo mahal pa rin kita,
at mahal na mahal ka nya

oo mahal kita,
pero alam kong dapat tama na

hanggang isang araw nagising ako,
wala na nga.

wala na akong maramdaman pa,
sayo,
sa paligid ko,
sa mundo ko

nakalimutan ko
lahat ng ito ikaw lang bumubuo.

sabi ko,
patas pa ba ako?
sayo
sa sarili ko

kasi iniisip ko, mahal na mahal parin kita kahit iba na ang ritmo ko.
pero sabi ko sa sarili ko,

hindi ako bibitaw kasi minahal kita ng husto.

pero hindi pala,
nung araw na sinabi kong mahal kita,

dun ko napagtanto.

pareho na tayo,

sa tagal ng pagsasama natin dalawang beses tayo nagkasundo.

una, ang pinili nating mahalin ang isat isa
pangalawa, ay ang piliin nating huwag saktan ang isat isa

kasi nung iniwan mo ako sa gitna ng usapan natin kanina
dun ko napagtanto.

hindi na pala natin mahal ang isat-isa.

Walang kasiguraduhan, ako, sa'yo ay sumugal
Nais ko ay kasiyahan, ngunit puso ko'y napagal
Ilang taong maghihintay sa  b u o  **** pagmamahal?
Ilang luha iaalay, para sa'yo aking mahal?

Isipang puno ng pait, pusong puno ng pag-ibig
Pagluha, saya, at galit, ano nga bang mananaig?
Tagal ng pinagsamahan, ‘di madaling kalimutan
Anong dapat asahan kung tayo'y nagkakasakitan?

Wala na nga bang katapusan itong mga sisihan
Magturuan sa kung sino ang dapat na parusahan
Isa, dalawa, tatlo, ilang beses na nangyari ‘to?
Aabot ba hanggang dulo, o mananatili dito?

Ninais kong kalimutan, masakit na nakaraan
Hangad ko ‘yong katapatan, tiwala ko'y alagaan!
Ngunit ano bang gagawin, kung sya ay di pa “raw” handa
Gusto bang ika'y hatawin pa upang ika'y magtanda?

Mahal, alam ko namang ika’y tuluyang magbabago
Sa ilang pagkakataon, sana’y wag akong mabigo
Dahil ako ay tao lang, napapagod sa kalbaryo
Puso kong nagtamo ng sugat, napuno na ng kalyo

Naniniwala, na sa huli tayo'y ‘di mawawala
Seryosohin lang sana itong aking mga babala
Sa pag-ibig, tayo man ay magkaiba ng konteksto
‘Wag mo lang sana hayaan ang puso ko'y maging bato!
