Naturally, naturally,
I’m domesticated cattle living the high life,
I’m preaching peace when I need to fight.

Naturally, naturally,
life is a wonder watching from the sideline, “hmmhmm”
life is a dangerous occupation when monotony is the worst vice. “hmmhmm”

Domesticated cattle do run along now,
your peak performance is in nigh—when you live our life.

Happiness is yours to find,
you are the main character, believe us.

You are the peak of the drama,
you are the soul of our story,
as long as you follow the script,
as long as you learn your lines,
as long as you do not question us.

Life is beautiful.

Naturally, naturally,
The throne is mine, “hmmhmm”
the kingdom is a birthright. “hmmhmm”

Naturally, naturally,
Do work until you die treasure will satisfy, “hmmhmm”
no one knows how still it will right? “hmmhmm”

Domesticated cattle do run along now,
your peak performance is in nigh—when you live our life.

Happiness is yours to find,
you are the main character, believe us.

You are the peak of the drama,
you are the soul of our story,
as long as you follow the script,
as long as you learn your lines,
as long as you do not question us.

Life is beautiful.

It is to do or die,
it is flight or fight,
it is high noon on a dark night.

Life is beautiful,
life is beautiful,
life is beautiful.

As long as you follow the script,
as long as you learn your lines,
as long as you do not question us.

Life is beautiful.

m hmm hmmhmm hmm
the tune is yours to carry
in this wounded city with its
cr    a    cked        ribcage
that is trying to hold its heart the same

stillbreathing, still breathing


m hmm hmmhmm hmm
gawing sa 'yo ang himig na ito
sa isang bayang dumudugo
kanyang tadyang may  la  m a   t
ngunit nais pa ring hawakan ang puso

humihingapa, humihinga *pa
Again, idea/challenge from http://hellopoetry.com/jedd-ong/.
