Kailan Ba Natin Makikita

nasaan ba ang ating kaligtasan

doon ba sa napakalayong lugar

o nandito lang ba sa ating bayan

nakakaawang Pilipinas

puno ng pighati ang ating bansa

parang mga bato sa ating likod

na kailangan nating ilakad sa kabila

kailan ba natin makikita

ang kapayapaan sa lupaing ito

kailan ba natin makikita

ang katarungan para sa mga aliping

nagdusa sa ating mga kamay

kailan ba natin makikita

ang kalayaan na pinagtanggol

ng ating mga bayani

For With Me

if a sword strikes my back

as I stand on the rock

I will not be ashamed to fall

for with me, they too fall

I will not live as a silent witness

my heart may never rest

as my feet roam the earth

when evil still gives birth

to pain and anguish in the human soul

you will find a huge hole

in my already fragile heart

The Rags of Yesterday

I shed the rags of yesterday

The sun has risen for today

Not for tomorrow

Not for past sorrow

Life was meant to live in the present moment

Not for moments so ancient

Fill it with joy not worry

You won't be saying "Sorry!"

In the future uncertain
