“The General” lyrics
By Bamboo
There was a decorated general with a heart of gold
That likened him with all the stories he told
Of past battles, won and lost and legends of old
A seasoned veteran in his own time
But on the battlefield, he gained respectable fame
With many metals of bravery and stripes to his name
He grew a beard as soon as he could to cover the scars on his face
And always urged his men on
But on the eve of great battle with the infantry in dream
The old general tossed in his sleep and he was amazed
He awoke from the night just to tell what he had seen
And walked slowly out of his tent
All the men held tall with their chests in the air
With the courage in their blood and a fire in their stare
It was a gray morning and they all wondered how they would fare
Till the old general told them to go home
CHORUS
He said, “I have seen the others
And I have discovered that this fight is not worth fighting, oh
And I’ve seen their mothers
And I will no other to follow me where I’m going’
So, so take a shower and shine your shoes
You got no time to lose
You’re young men, you must be living, yeah
Take a shower and shine your shoes
You got no time to lose
You’re young men, you must be living
Go now, you are forgiven
But the men stood fast with their guns on their shoulders
Not knowing what to do with the contradicting orders
The old general told he would do his own duty but he would extend it no further
You can go as you pleased
Not a man moved, their eyes gazed straight ahead
Till one by one, they stepped back and not a word was said
And the old general was left with his own words echoing in his head
He then prepared to fight
[Repeat CHORUS]
Go now, you are forgiven
Go now, you are forgiven
Go now, you are forgiven, go
Go now, you are forgiven
Go now, you are forgiven
Go now, you are forgiven, go
Go now, you are forgiven
Go now, you are forgiven
Go now, you gotta, you gotta, you gotta, you gotta, you gotta
Yeah yeah
“Dinner At 6″ lyrics
By Bamboo
Dinner at 6 I can no longer wait for your call
I’ve been waiting for days
It’s hard for me to think you’ve forgotten my number
When we had such a nice chat the other day
Hope nothing serious has happened it’s been a good weekend
Called my mother 3 times
My streaks finally broken
It’s been awhile since I’ve seen such a lovely face
Will nothing spoil my day
Let nothing spoil my day
I’m afraid to look
Only to find You could be just like the rest
Give me a sign You think you’ve figured me out
I’m a mess still you want to stay
Like fine wine this keeps getting better with time so what’s the delay
Well I know this all looks bad but underneath it all
But your timing couldn’t be any better this is my curtain call
Well I know you know my name that little look you gave gave you away
So behave I’ll be nice mother I don’t need to be told twice 6 in the morning
I’m still here
I’m still here
What you read in the paper I tell you their lies
Stop looking at me with those vanishing eyes
The gods have spoken and I’m forced to fib it was the night of night
I went out for a little drink
Met up with an old friend said hello
Goodbye, I gotta go Home Only to find nobody
You afraid to take a hard look let me sell you my story
It’s tragic You think you’ve figured me out you still don’t want to stay
Save my tears for later I got something cooking
Let’s not delay
Better behave
Take a better look at myself
Better behave take a closer look at myself
This is a shame
This is a shame
Have I fallen from grace
Have I fallen from grace
I’ve fallen
I’ve fallen
I’ve fallen
“So Far Away” lyrics
By Bamboo
Doesn’t anybody stay in one place anymore
It would be so fine to see your face at my door
Doesn’t help to know that you’re just time away
Long ago I reached for you and there you stood
Holding you again could only do me good
How I wish I could, but you’re so far away
One more song about movin’ along the highway
Can’t say much of anything that’s new
If I could only work this life out my way
I’d rather spend it bein’ close to you
But you’re so far away
You’re so far away
Travelin’ around sure gets me down and lonely
Nothin’ else to do but close my mind
I sure hope the road don’t come to own me
But there’s so many dreams I’ve yet to find
But you’re so far away
Doesn’t anybody stay in one place anymore
It would be so fine to see your face at my door
And it doesn’t help to know, it doesn’t help to know
It doesn’t help to know
You’re so far away
“Truth” lyrics
By Bamboo
Can’t Believe how you set me free
The way you purify this soul don’t you know
Got you into my arms now I’m never letting go
This old dog is finally home…finally home…So!
Chorus:
Ohh, Tell me what you want
I’ll pay the price
What’s money I’ll roll the dice
Lose it all take the fall
Let it ride
As long as i have you at my side
(repeat 2X)
Friend or foe you come to me
Wasn’t sure how deep a hole i was getting into
Yet I choose to wake up every mornin with a smile of my face
Or see life for what it is one big fat race…GO!
(repeat chorus)
*Chorus:
I’ve played the fool
Thinking i can catch you off guard and score another night with you
But the tables have been turned
This boy’s about to get burned
But before i go, i gotta know – i gotta know
Let’s not forget
You kept me waiting
What can i do to get through to you
Tired of singin to myself
I need a lesson
I need a blessing
The Shoe fits all we need is a little glue
I hate what you do
Ohh, Tell me what you want
Ohh, Tell me what you want
Ohh, Tell me what you want
Ohh, Tell me what you want…fuck you…
(repeat chorus)
ohh… It’s been so good since i last saw you… ohh… child…
ohh… It’s been so good since i last saw you… ohh…
“Fiestamazing” lyrics
By Bamboo
Libu-libong isla handa ng magwala
Sa bawat barrio’t kalye tuloy na mamaya
Dito kami sa bayan ko tuloy ang ligaya
Kahit walang pang gastos sumasabog sa saya
Chorus:

Wala ng hahanapin pa basta’t buddy ika’y

Isang tawag lang sama-sama na tayo
From luzon to mindanao isa lang ang sigaw
Isang kulay, isang diwa, iisang gawa
Chorus:

“Waiting In Vain” lyrics
By Bamboo
I don’t wanna wait for your love
First time I rest my eyes on you girl
My heart said follow through
What I know now is that I’m way down on your line
But the waiting feeling’s fine
So don’t treat me like a puppet on a string
Cause I know how to do my thing
Don’t talk to me as if you think I’m dumb
I wanna know when your gonna come
Say
I don’t wanna wait in vain for your love
I don’t wanna wait in vain for your love
Say
I don’t wanna wait for your love
Like I said
It’s been three years since I’m knocking on your door
And I still can knock some more
Ooh girl, ooh girl
Is it really luck?
I wanna know
I wanna know with this for sure
You see in life I know
There’s lots of grief
But your love is my relief
Tears in my eyes girl
Tears in my eyes girl
Yes I’m waiting
Yes I’m waiting for my turn
Say
I don’t wanna wait for your love
Say
I don’t want to wait in vain for your love
I don’t want to wait in vain for your love
Say
I don’t want to wait in vain for your love
The summer is here, and I’m still waiting there
The winter is here coz I’m still waiting there
I don’t wanna
I don’t wanna
I don’t wanna
I don’t wanna
I don’t wanna wait in vain
I don’t wanna
I don’t wanna
I don’t wanna
I don’t wanna
I don’t wanna wait in vain
I don’t wanna
I don’t wanna
I don’t wanna
I don’t wanna
I don’t wanna wait in vain
I don’t wanna
I don’t wanna
I don’t wanna
I wanna fly
I wanna fly
I don’t want to wait in vain for your love
I don’t want to wait in vain for your love
I don’t want to wait in vain for your love
“Break On The Though” lyrics
By Bamboo
Some down, some down
Right before your eyes
Some down, some down
Right before your eyes
Though that they destroy the night
And not devides the day
I try to run
I try to hide
Break on through to the otherside
And so we change the pleasures in
Though I treasures in
We can still recall
The time I’ve cried
Break on through to the otherside
Everybody loves my baby
Everybody loves my baby
If i will cut three in your arm
I will move your eyes
Arms that change us
Eyes that lies
Break on through to the otherside
Break unto to the otherside
uh ho
yeah the weak day,
The day of our hour
Sending wheels of power
Yes that, give us smile
oh yes over, over, over
“Sunshine” lyrics

Bamboo
Totoy bilisan mo, bilisan mo ang takbo
Ilagan ang mga bombang nakatutok sa ulo mo
Totoy tumalon ka, dumapa kung kailangan
At baka tamaan pa ng mga balang ligaw
Totoy makinig ka, wag kang magpa-gabi
Baka mapagkamalan ka’t humandusay dyan sa tabi
Totoy alam mo ba kung ano ang puno’t dulo
Ng di matapos-tapos na kaguluhang ito
[refrain]
Hindi pula’t dilaw tunay na magkalaban
Ang kulay at tatak ay di syang dahilan
Hangga’t marami ang lugmok sa kahirapan
At ang hustisya ay para lang sa mayaman
[chorus]
Habang may tatsulok at sila ang nasa tuktok
Di matatapos itong gulo
At ang dating munting bukid, ngayo’y sementeryo
Totoy kumilos ka, baliktarin ang tatsulok
Tulad ng dukha, nailagay mo sa tuktok
[repeat refrain and chorus]

Bamboo
I cried for days
Wasn’t sure how I got to be here
Brought my knees
Wasn’t the fallacy that’s inside of me
Peace I give you, hey
And make him pay
Left throbin’ on the outside, time
You’ll play your game
That you wasted for no reason
Afar from reason
Show me, show me, show me
You say I don’t belong
You say we don’t belong
Well duty bounds me
On the cover of a magazine
The girl of your dreams
My hero’s weapon is what you will seek
Don’t be all you can be
You can
Save me now, but not today
Kailan
Bamboo
Bago ang lahat isipin mo kung nasa tama ka
Baka magkamali ka pa doon
At bago mo ayusin ang mga bagay sa paligid mo
Unahin mo kaya sarili mo
[chorus]
Kailan? kailan ko gagawin kundi ngayon?
Tao po? nananawagan lang naman ako
Saan? kailangan nating simulan
Tao po? nangangailangan lang ng tulong nyo
Nais kong mabuhay ng mabuti’t marangal
Nagsisimba nagdarasal ako, tuwing Linggo
Sapat na ba kayang itong sagot sa panalangin na
Maging pantay at patag ang mundo
[repeat chorus]
Kailangan bang ulitin pang muli
Sa awit na sinabi noon
Kailan ba kaya ako malaya sa gulo
Ilang awit pa ba ang kailangan tugtugin ng
Bandang to
[repeat chorus 2x]
Mr. Clay by Bamboo
Red sun dawn
Guns are drawn
Skull and bones
Beast of war
Father help me stop this
Rush of blood to the head
I look at you and I see red
Start the game
I’ll end it
By this hate that you help the world create
I’ve been sent
Now repent
I’m the war that comes to you
I’m the plague that follows through
I’ve been told
You’ve been warned
To stop the hatred you have spawned
The qualms you have are stupid
By this movement manifest
Lord now put you to the test
Yet you fail
Now the blind that follow you
Will burn in hell with you
All by myself
I know that I stand here alone
All your lies they feed
I’m stronger now
Stronger now than I was before
There’s no way you can
Hurt me
Move me
Stop me
Talk too much mutherfucker hush
You had your chance to change things
Move in the direction of right
Choose to set the bad
But then you had to pick a fight
So what’s daddy done for you lately?
Bought you the throne
Like stealing candy from a baby
Line your pockets with mucho dinero
Paid in full with the blood of the people
So now you got the fires rockin
Blood and hate
Then you got the people talking
Legacy
You will never be forgotten
Your place in history
A black mark in time
A black mark in time
All by myself
I know that I stand here alone
All your lies they feed
I’m stronger now
Stronger now than I was before
There’s no way you can
Hurt me
Move me
Stop me
Peace and flowers
Will kill the superpower
The fall of Rome is near
Can’t you hear
It’s been written, it’s been said
The signs are here
The revelations I have read
The signs are here
Those days are over
Walk away from the line
For now is the time
All by myself
I know that I stand here alone
All your lies they feed
I’m stronger now
Stronger now than I was before
There’s no way you can
Hurt me
Move me
Stop me
Masaya by Bamboo
Ako’y malungkot na naman
Amoy chico na ako
Ilang tagay na hindi pa rin tulog
Tanong ko lang sa langit
Kung bakit pumangit
Nung dating masaya
Ngayo’y panay problemang
bumabalot sa buto
Bakit ganito
Ang pag-ibig
Ganyan talaga
Pagbago pa ang pag-ibig
Ganyan talaga
Masaya
Pagkagising ko
Nakita ko si juan
Na syang adik
sa aming lugar
Parang droga daw ang bisa
Na ginagamit niya kanina
Sa una lang daw
Masarap
Ang pag-ibig
Ganyan talaga
Pagbago pa ang pag-ibig
Ganyan talaga
Masaya
Ang pag-ibig
Ganyan talaga
Pagbago pa ang pag-ibig
Ganyan talaga
Masaya

Light Years by Bamboo
Hello
Goodbye
Leave me alone
Don’t wanna be with anyone
Lie awake in bed
My eyes are closed
I bet you think I’m wasted
Hit me if you think it’s
worth it
If you think I’ve crossed the line
I’ll see you somewhere
Out there
Iknow you think I’m crazy
Or a schizo maybe
Or a drug fiend addict
But I know what’s real
I know you faked it
Coz lies are what we have in your world
Read all the books of life
Looked at myself
Where did the years go?
They’re lost within the pages of time
If you think I’ve crossed the line
I’ll see you somewhere
Out there
Something about it makes me
Something about it takes me
Something about you makes me
High
So high
Me and my folk guitar
We’ve seen
A glimpse of the wild world
It’s beautiful, it’s crazy
A lot of people that we know
They talk about us
They say we’ve lost it
They’re too far away from Venus I say
If you think I’ve crossed the line
I’ll see you somewhere
Out there
Coz light years from now
They’ll find it somehow
Coz it’s beautiful out there
Noypi by Bamboo
Tingnan mo iyong palad
Kalyado mong kamay sa hirap ng buhay
Ang dami mong problema, nakuha mo pang ngumiti
Noypi ka nga, astig
Saan ka man naroroon ‘wag kang matatakot
Sa baril o patalim, sa bakas na madilim
Hoy, Pinoy ako
Buo aking loob
May agimat ang dugo ko
Hoy, oh, Pinoy ako
May agimat ang dugo ko
Sinisid ko ang dagat, nalibot ko ang mundo
Nasa puso ko pala hinahanap kong pulo
Ilang beses na akong muntikang mamatay
Oh, alam ko ang sikreto kaya’t nandito pa’t buhay
Oh, sabi nila may anting-anting ako
Pero ‘di nila alam na ang Diyos ang dahilan ko
Hoh hoh hoo hoh
Hoh hoh hoo hoh
Dinig mo ba ang bulong ng lahi mo
Isigaw mo, kapatid, ang himig natin
Hoh hoh hoo hoh
Hoh hoh hoo hoh
04 by Bamboo
I’ll move on here lying in my cozy bed
What’s next on my list too much to think about
Maybe I’m better off dead
Realize when everything’s done and said I’d given up
Goodbye friend we never really had a chance to talk
Take a breath just a minute or two
Let me try to find a reason for what you’re about to do
What are you about to do
You got our attention let’s all just settle down
So you did the unimaginable oh I hope you’re proud
Cuz it’s never gonna be the same
Cuz it’s never gonna be the same
Brother is this it was this some race to the end
Save me from myself remind me what I have to do
Cuz from time to time I seem to forget
O yes the sun will rise again
Talk to you later friend
Goodbye friend
I–You by Bamboo
Pain
Leads to freedom
It’s everyone’s opinion not my own
Fame
Crystal kingdom
It’s everybody’s mission not my own
Not too young
Not that old
Neither bitter
Neither cold
Just an optimist
Who’s become a little cynical
Under gloom
Don’t be afraid
Love is stronger than it all
Stronger than this soul divided
All these years I never really know what love is
Til I found you
Found you
This new faith where the altar is the bed
Where the church feels like a motel room
Where gold turns to lead
Hello
Do you believe
Love is stronger than us all
Stronger than two worlds colliding
I-you burn like fire from below sears the flesh feeds the souls desire
I-you stronger than before rising through the dust like a phoenix
F.U. by Bamboo
Why do you hate him
Why did you make him leave
There’s nothing wrong with him
Why do you hate him
You want him crucified
Is it the way he looks
Or the way he speaks his mind
Never hear this song playing on the radio
O There’s nothing wrong with him
But it’s you and your friends
Never hear this song playing on the radio
All you ever did was talk about her
She’s done what she had to do
Having to raise two kids without a father
You just stood by idly watched her suffer
You think you’re something special
Boy you blew it
This conversation’s over
Never hear this song playing on the radio
There’s nothing wrong with her
But it’s you and your friends
Fuck you and your friends
Never hear this song playing on the radio
Truth by Bamboo
Can’t believe how you set me free
The way you purify this soul don’t you know
Got you into my arms now I’m never letting go
This old dog is finally home, finally home, go
Tell me what you want
I’ll pay the price
What’s money I’ll roll the dice
Lose it all I take the fall
I’ll let it ride
As long as I have you at my side
Friend or foe you come to me
Wasn’t sure how deep a hole I was getting into
Yet I choose to wake up every mornin with a smile on my face
Or see life for what it is one big fat race, go
I’ve played the fool
Thinking I can catch you off guard and score another night with you
But the tables have been turned
This boy’s about to get burned
But before I go I gotta know, gotta know
Let’s not forget
You kept me waiting
What can I do to get through to you
Tired of singin to myself
I need a lesson
I need a blessing
The shoe fits all we need is a little glue
I hate what you do
Tell me what you want
Tell me what you want
Tell me what you want
Tell me what you want
Peace Man by Bamboo
I have words to say to you my friend
Is it hard to know what’s right from wrong
Have you ever felt your life so self assured
You don’t know the things that you’ve done wrong
And then we’ll say
We’ll rip out our covers
Shake the walls until they break
I’ll hold out my hand to you
Supreme love and respect
Peace man
At first it seems so daunting
How to start or how to grow
But make believe becomes a living
Cuz in life, in life you will know
Peace man
Alpha Beta Omega by Bamboo
Search and you’ll define
The sky between the lines I could never tell truth from victim
Escape is a tired line
Knock knock
Sun is creeping laying down the land a smear on the wicked
Now if you’re ready to bleed
Turn your head
From the right follow me
Give chase to my shadows disarmed with a whisper
No gun in my hand whatever happened to honor brother
Fight me man to man, look me in the eye
I got a family a feed
Will I learn from this
What can you teach me
It’s out of control
The times are crazy
We don’t even care who sits on the throne
Doesn’t matter to most of us
Just don’t mess with the status quo
Gas paint my picture everyday
Every stone’s been thrown
Lay siege to my kingdom
My covers blown
You blind dealing with death
Every dollar a headstone
Where the rich get richer
The poor just multiply
That’s smart divide and conquer
I keep em entertained
While your steal their hard-earned moolah
Was there ever a time we dreamed of something better?
Sounds real good but you’re telling me to wait for fairer weather
Let it rain
Fire from the sky
Heaven help us (do you truly believe)
Only the strong should survive
With permission I make this my personal mission
Save me from the fire, from the fire
Yes sir yes ma’am I get the picture
We educate the masses who’s gonna be cooking our dinners
Such a waste of time thinking we have to raise our own sons and daughters
When you can pay below the minimum (shoot that man)
Excuse me but can I follow up that order
But all this talk don’t come cheap
We all know what has to be done
Our very own personal revolution
Revolution revolution revolution
Revolution revolution revolution
Revolution revolution revolution
Now here you come walking into my part of town
Telling people you have such a solution
Quick fix you got a story
Boy meets girl, stop they have kids
Poppa works while Ma raises the ten babies
She’s praying every night that they’ll one day hit the jackpot
9 lucky numbers win the lottery
A million gets me out of this hole
But when the well dries up where do I go
Little Pablo doesn’t even know how to read or write
I’m starving sweet Ana so I can get a good price for her
2 down 8 to go oh wait he’s got good skin tone
got nice smile and accent but kinda smells though
now where do you think you going talking that kind of tank
that doesn’t happen not on my watch no that doesn’t happen
I ask you all to bear witness to the rape of these young souls
Let’s give em a fighting chance and see where this all goes
I ask you all to bear witness to the rape of these young souls
If I don’t do nothing let’s see where this all goes
I ask you all to bear witness to the rape of these young souls
They got front row seats don’t tell me they know
I ask you all to bear witness to the rape of these young souls
They don’t need your donation what about education
Children of the Sun by Bamboo
Take your best shot
You crossed the line
You think you’ve paid your dues
You’re here to take what’s mine
Run for cover son this is no challenge for the weak
Ain’t taking victims
Ride this winner to the end
Ride this winner to the end of the line
Children of the sun
Fight on fight harder
This is the call
Children of the sun
Fight on fight on

Ang probinsyana ay di basta-basta

Mahirap amuhin ang probinsyana
Pag napaibig, wala kang duda
Pag sa umaga pisngi namumutla
Pag nakasaya maaakit ka
Ang kanyang lakad, mabibighani ka
Di biro, babaeng probinsyana
[repeat Refrain]
Probinsyana, probinsyana

Lumuwas ng Maynila dala ng pangarap niya
Ang kanyang lakad mabibighani ka
Nasaan na aking Maria Clara

So Far Away by Bamboo
Album: We Stand Alone Together
Original Artist: Carole King
So far away
Doesn’t anybody stay in one place anymore
It would be so fine to see your face at my door
Doesn’t help to know that you’re just time away
.
Long ago I reached for you and there you stood
Holding you again could only do me good
How I wish I could, but you’re so far away
One more song about movin’ along the highway
Can’t say much of anything that’s new
If I could only work this life out my way
I’d rather spend it bein’ close to you
But you’re so far away
You’re so far away
Travelin’ around sure gets me down and lonely
Nothin’ else to do but close my mind
I sure hope the road don’t come to own me
But there’s so many dreams I’ve yet to find
But you’re so far away
Doesn’t anybody stay in one place anymore
It would be so fine to see your face at my door
And it doesn’t help to know, it doesn’t help to know
It doesn’t help to know
You’re so far away
Alive by Bamboo
Album: We Stand Alone Together
Original Artist: Pearl Jam
Son, she said, have I got a little story for you
What you thought was your daddy was only just a
While you were sleepin’ home alone at age thirteen
Your real daddy was dyin’
.
Sorry you didnt see him, but I’m glad we talked
[Chorus]
Oh i, oh, I’m still alive
Hey, i, i, oh, I’m still alive
Hey i, oh, I’m still alive
Hey
Oh, she walks slowly, across a young man’s room
She says Im ready
I can’t remember anything to this very day
Except the look, the look
Oh, you know where, now I cant see, I just stare
[repeat Chorus]
Is something wrong, she said
Well of course there is
You’re still alive, she said
Oh, and do I deserve to be
Is that the question
And if so, if so, if so, who answers
[repeat Chorus]
I’m still alive
50 Ways To Leave Your Lover by Bamboo
Album: We Stand Alone Together
Original Artist: Paul Simon
“The problem is all inside your head”, she said to me
The answer is easy if you take it logically
I’d like to help you in your struggle to be free
There must be fifty ways to leave your lover
.
She said it’s really not my habit to intrude
Furthermore, I hope my meaning won’t be lost or misconstrued
But I’ll repeat myself at the risk of being crude
There must be fifty ways to leave your lover
Fifty ways to leave your lover
[Chorus]
Just slip out the back, Jack
Or make a new plan, Stan
You don’t need to be coy, Roy
Just get yourself free
Oh, hop on the bus, Gus
You don’t need to discuss much
Just drop off the key, Lee
And get yourself free
She said it grieves me so to see you in such pain
I wish there was something I could do to make you smile again
I said I appreciate that and could you please explain
About the fifty ways
She said why don’t we both just sleep on it tonight
And I believe in the morning you’ll begin to see the light
And then she kissed me and I realized she probably was right
There must be fifty ways to leave your lover
Fifty ways to leave your lover
[repeat Chorus]
[Chorus 2]
Slip out the back, Jack
Or make a new plan, Stan
You don’t need to be coy, Roy
Just listen to me
Oh, hop on the bus, Gus
You don’t need to discuss much
Just drop off the key, Lee
And get yourself free
[repeat Chorus 2x]
Prayer For The Dying by Bamboo
Album: We Stand Alone Together
Original Artist: Seal
Fearless people, careless needle
Harsh words spoken, and lives are broken
Forceful ageing, help me I’m fading
Heaven’s waiting, it’s time to move on
.
Crossing that bridge, with lessons I’ve learned
Playing with fire, and not getting burned
I may not know what you’re going through
But time is the space between me and you
Life carries on
Just say die, and that would be pessimistic
In your mind, we can walk across water
Please don’t cry, it’s just a prayer for the dying
I just don’t know what’s got into me
Been crossin’ that bridge, with lessons I’ve learned
Playing with fire, and not getting burned
I may not know what you’re going through
But time is the space between me and you
There is a light through that window
Hold on say yes, while people say no
Life carries on
It goes on
Crossing that bridge with lessons I’ve learned
Playing with fire, and not getting burned
I may not know what you’re going through
But time is the space between me and you
There is a light through that window
Hold on say yes, while people say no
Umagang Kay Ganda by Bamboo
Album: We Stand Alone Together
Halika na pumikit limutin ang problema
Hihintayin ang umaga
Magpahinga, panaginip ang ikaliligaya
Darating din ang umaga
.
[Chorus]
Basta’t tayo’y magkasama
Laging mayroong umagang kay ganda
Pagsikat ng araw
May dalang liwanag
Sa ating pangarap, ooh
Haharapin natin
Simple lang, kasama ka naman
Kung ayaw nila sa akin, ok lang
Kung di mo makuha sa tingin
Idaan mo sa taas, kung ayaw pa rin
Gumising na (gumising na)
Araw ng pag-asa’y narito na
Dumating din, haharapin natin
[repeat Chorus]
Haharapin natin
[repeat Chorus except last line]
