Mute

Opinions differ from one person to another
Share it with a friend as you stroll by the sidewalk
And at the day’s end you’ll take home more thoughts to launder

Such is the curse of man, to bring news to his fellow
If only what he says is truth than mere gossips, so shallow

Whispers behind your back are more hurtful when they attack
Turn your head around, and the stabber makes contact

Like taking a fragile mind to exile in a hostile place
When it comes back home to its host
No longer does it have a care to the rest of the human race.

Panahon

panahon nati'y wag sayangin
minsang magdaraan
dala ay 'sang karanasang inaalay sa'yo

abutin natin bituing nagni-ningning
tanging handog ay pag-asang humahamon

diringgin ng langit ang dasal na minsan ay iyong ibinulong
ngunit sinisigaw ng damdamin
pasanin mo'y dala-dala di ka nman nagiisa
o bakit pa ngyn ka luluha

ipagdiwang ang paglipas ng unos
hayaan bang lunurin ng kahapon
ang bawat sandaling hiram
na lulan ang lahat ng 'yong pagdaramdam

minsan darating ang araw
at bubuhos ang ulan
tingin mo sa kalawakan
ay naglalaro lamang

minsan darating ang araw
at bubuhos ang ulan
mga tanong mo sa isipan
ay maglalaro lamang.
