Naturally the Same

as i was walking down the mem'ry lane this morning
i saw a glimpse of everybody's face and oh
i saw the pictures moving oh so fast
we're running free
we're running free
hey!

we've known each other for quite too long, so long ago
we've had our differences, clashing through our skins
they thought we'll never get along
but oh they're wrong
but oh they're wrong
no way!

this is the Chronicle, the story of our lives
we may be different but we know that inside we share a heart
we live as one,
but we're naturally the same.

had our obstacles our hearts had bled, it never stops
we laugh we cry, we share our fears, we don't know why
cosmic connections tie us up together
and we know
now we know

this is our history, a chronicle of love
we know we're different but we are free, we live a life
it may be blurred
it may be different
but we're naturally the same

alapaap

lumilipad, malaya
malakas na hangin, tayo'y nadadala
masaya palang lumipad kasama mo,
nawawala ang takot, pangamba
natatanaw mo, natatanaw ko
ang ganda ng luntiang mundo
nadarama ko, nadarama mo,
ang init ng araw,
ang pagmamahal
hawak kamay, lumipad tayong sabay
sa agos ng mapaglarong buhay..
at sana bukas, sa bawat araw natin
liparin natin muli ang himpapawid
katulad ng mga mayang sa tin sumasabay
sabay nating abutin
ang alapaap
ating mga pangarap...

and he wrote ...

...like the sunrise, like the sunset
like the wind of melodies inside my head
like all the lovely creatures herein
like the waters running to the ocean
like the dewdrops in the morning rain
wherever, whenever
that's how i love
like a poem lost in centuries
like a lovely, like a cherry smile
like a poem so beautiful to me
i fell in love with thee...

i couldn't think of any gift
but to have all these words written down...
you might have read them,
you might have not,
for not all of these stay inside my mind..
i might have let you feel it, i might have said
i might have not
you might not know it, but
there's nothing more special in this life
than having you here beside
there's no greater moment now
than with you alive
you might not know it, i might not have said
the gifts you give, big or not
it doesn't really matter
what is a pound of gold
without your forever?
so for this day
may i tell you, that for now
until all the universe allow
i'm giving you my eternal vow

I love you

IHIP

kahapon lang tayo'y mga batang nagtatakbuhan sa gitna
ng malawak na bukirin
tumatangis sa tuwing nasusugatan, tumatayo at naglalarong muli..
magkakaibang nagkatagpo, nagkasundo, naglalaro,
nakikipaglaro sa tadhanang malabo,
minsang naging isa sa mga hangarin, pangarap,
natagpuan na sa kabila ng pagkakaiba
tayo'y may pagkakahawig pala..

sa pag ihip ng hangin unti unting napapansin
nagkakaiba iba na yata
unti unti nagkakalayo, naglilihim, nagtatago,
hanggang magising ako isang
araw
hindi na pala ikaw, hindi na pala siya,
hindi na pala, tulad nung mga bata pa..

nagising akong may luha
bakit ba hindi nadama
mga buhay natin ay nagbago
hindi na pala mga bata
tayo'y tumanda na pala.....

He found her under the sun
..chasing souls lost in the wild
..running at daytime, fighting in the night
..seeking courage from the world she's suddenly in..

He found her like a child
..full of innocence, full of faith
..filled with laughter amidst the pain
..like an angel, like a izar

He found her like a diamond
..like an oracle, a sweetheart
..a baby wrapped inside the earth's arms
..an assassin, a knight

He found her like the sunshine
..an averain, a peaceful disaster
..a sorceress, a great hunter
..wrapped inside his loving arms

He will find her, soon, after this time
..he will find her, and she will, for her very first time
..she will love him now, in heart, in mind
..time starts counting, they shall meet eye to eye.

this air reminds me of summer,
that one summertime
sometime ago, five years before
that one summertime, a lifetime
