Halellujah
Bamboo

Anong balita sa radyo at TV
Gano’n pa rin, kumakapa sa dilim
Minsan naisip ko nang umalis na lang dito
Kalimutan ang lahat, lumipad, lumayo, oh

Bato-bato sa langit, ang tamaan huwag magalit
Alam naman natin kung sino ang tuso
Sa bawat sumpang umiiyak, singil ko ay piso
Sa bawat lumuluhang dukha, alay ko’y dugo

[REFRAIN]
May kasama ka kapatid, kaibigan
Hangga’t ako’y humihinga, may pag-asa pa

[CHORUS]
Hallelu, hallelujah
Sinong sawa, sinong galit
Sumigaw ngayong gabi
Hallelu, hallelujah
Halellujah

Run the blood of mine to convey
To see these faces in front of me
Yes, we have, and we begin
We are the scars from within
I’m ashamed of what I become in the mirror
The face of my one true enemy
Hallelujah, some music
Let’s take control
If I have to take this message door to door
See myself in every soul
With the mission, I’ll make this my personal mission
Set me from the fire, from the fire
Set me from the fire

Ngayong gabi, ako ang sundalo mo
Habang ika’y tulog, ako’y gising nakabantay sa iyo
Kasi mahal kita, kita mo
Pag-ibig ko sa ‘yo lamang

[REFRAIN]
May kasama ka kapatid, kaibigan
Hangga’t ako’y humihinga, may pag-asa pa

[CHORUS]
Hallelu, hallelujah
Sinong sawa, sinong galit
Sumigaw ngayong gabi
Hallelu, hallelujah
Halellujah

Much Has Been Said
Bamboo

Much has been said
Said you’d never leave
Why’d it have to be
Harder than it had to be
Now don’t you throw the blame
You were part of this
Wasn’t supposed to end
With us just walking away
So many times we tried
Holding on to the pain
But in my baby’s eyes i see my shame
Asking why you had to leave
Wasn’t i strong enough
To make you see
That the biggest part of this
It’s not about you or me
But just been wrong
If we held on

So maybe tomorrow we’ll find
A taste for the old days
Hard lessons we’ve left behind
This mirror’s an open door
I can barely stand to see myself
I don’t know what to do anymore
I’m crying out for help

Ooh lord
Ooh lord

Much has been said
Well i never learned
Keeping my fingers crossed
Praying for my luck to turn
But i can’t complain
I’m living it easy
Job’s keeping me busy i’m going crazy
Can’t describe the way it felt
When you left said you goodbyes
It just seems crazy for me to think
That i found love the same time
But we all know how it all wraps up in the end

So maybe tomorrow we’ll find
A taste for the old days
Hard lessons we’ve left behind
This mirror’s an open door
I can barely stand to see myself
I don’t know what to do anymore
I’m crying out for help

Ooh lord
Ooh lord
Ooh lord
Ummm…

What am i leaving behind
Sweet how we see the big picture
When your life’s not on the line
I know the way out but do you see what i see
A tortured life always second guessing the bookie
Put money on the table thought that was all i had to do
Never came home never said a word to you
No one ever said it was going to be easy easy yeah
Start over again this time this time let’s do it right
Start over again but this time this time let’s keep the fires burning burning yeah
Start over again start over again but this time this time let’s do it right sweet child
Start over again start over again but this time this time let’s keep the fires burning burning yeah
You say i only hear what i want to no, no, no, no
You say i talk so all the time
I talk so all the time

Peace Man
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

[chorus]
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

[chorus]

War of Hearts And Mind
Bamboo

War of hearts and minds
Who will pay the price?
Does anybody care?
It’s not make believe
You’ve seen it on your tv screens
I’m glad you’re not here

Take my wife please
If you think it’s funny
Cut my heart out for a souvenir
Take my life please
If you think it’s worth it
I’m glad you’re not here

War of hearts and minds
7 days later
I still can’t find
Truth and peace
How will i find my way
They say love, love without fear
Is said to be the key
But just look around
No clear answer to be found
Get me out of here

Take my wife please
If you think it’s funny
Cut my heart out for a souvenir
Take my life please
If you think it’s worth it
I’m glad you’re not here

Hudas
Bamboo

Ba’t sila’y nag-iinumang masaya
Bakit sa lupa magulo
Ba’t sila’y nagtatawanang malakas
Tinatawanan lang tayo

REFRAIN 1
‘Di kaya isang tropa lang sila
Ang Demonyo, San Pedro at ang Diyos

CHORUS 1
Tinatawanan lang ni Hudas
Tinatawanan lang ni Hudas
Ako’t ikaw, tayong lahat

Balita ko’y may nag-away sa inyo
Dahil ba sa penoy at balot
Nagdebate, nagtalo kung sinong tama’t totoo
Pinag-awayan si Jawo

REFRAIN 2
Kung sana ay mamulat ang matang bulag
Na iisa lang naman ang Diyos

[Repeat CHORUS 1]

CHORUS 2
Tinatawanan lang ni Hudas
Tinatawanan lang ni Hudas
Tinatagayan lang ni Hudas
Si Satanas at ating Diyos Ama

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

Peace Man
Bamboo

I have words to say to you my friend
Is it hard to know what’s right from wrong

Shake the walls until they break

Supreme love and respect

But make believe becomes a living
Cuz in life, in life you will know

Peace man

Dinner At Six
Bamboo

I can no longer wait for you’re 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 streak’s 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 my out
I’m a mess you still want to stay
Like fine wine this keeps getting better with time so what’s the delay

Chorus:
Well i know it all looks bad but underneath it all
But your timing couldn’t been any better this is my curtain call
Well i know you know my name
That little look you gave me gave it away
So behave
I’ll be nice
Mother, i don’t need to be told twice

6 in the morning and 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 nights
I went out for a little drink
Met up with an old friend said hello
Goodbye i got to go

Much has been said
said you never leave
Why it have to be
harder than it had to be
don’t you throw blame
you were part of this
wasn,t suppose to end
with us just walking away

So many times we tried
holding on to the pain
but in my babys eyes I see my shame
asking why you had to leave
wasn’t I strong enough
to make you see

that the biggest part of this
it’s not about you or me
but just be wrong if we held on

So maybe tomorrow well find
a taste for the old days hard lessons
we’ve left behind

This mirrors an open door
i can barely stand to see myself
i dont know what to do anymore
i’m crying out for help

Ohh lord …Ohh lord

Much has been said
will I never learn
keeping my fingers crossed
praying for my luck to turn
but I cant complain
i’m living it easy
jobs keeping me busy
going Crazy
cant describe the way it felt
when you left said your goodbyes
it just seems crazy for me to think
that i’ll find love a second time
but we all know how it all
wraps up in the end
so maybe tomorrow we’ll find..
a taste for all the hard lesson
we’ve left behind

This mirrors an open door
i can barely stand to see myself
i dont know what to do anymore
i’m crying out for help

Ohh lord..
What am I leaving behind
Sweet how we see the big picture
when youre lifes not on the line
I know the way but
do you see what I see
tortured life always
second guessing the bookie
Pot money on the table thought
that was all I had to do
Never came home
Never said a word to you
No one ever said it was going to be easy

Easy … start over again this time this time
Lets do it right
Start over again this time this time
Lets keep the fires burning…butning ..yeah

You say,i only hear what i want to
you say, i talk so all the time …

Cant believe how you set me free
the way you purify this soul don’t you know
got you into my arms now Im never letting go
This old dog is finally home …is finally home!

[chorus]
Tell me what you want
i’ll pay the price
whats money Ill roll the dice
lose it all I take the fall
i’ll let it ride
as long as I have you at my side

[chorus]
Tell me what you want
i’ll pay the price
whats money Ill 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
if 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!

[chorus]
Tell me what you want
i’ll pay the price
whats money Ill roll the dice
lose it all I take the fall
i’ll let it ride
as long as I have you at my side

[chorus]
Tell me what you want

I’ve played a fool
thinking I can catch you off guard and score another night with you
but the tables have been turned
this boys about to get burned
but before I go I gotta know … gotta know

Lets 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
now.. tell me what you want
tell me what you want
now..tell me what you want

[chorus]
Tell me what you want
i’ll pay the price
whats money Ill roll the dice
lose it all I take the fall

as long as I have you at my side

[chorus]
Tell me what you want

since i last saw yahh…

Tell me what you want
now.. tell me what you want
tell me what you want
now..tell me what you want

Alpha Beta Omega
Bamboo

Search and youll define
the sky between the lines
i could never tell truth from victim
escapes a tired line
knock knock somethings creeping
laying down the land smear on the wicked
now if youre ready to bleed
turn your head 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 dont care who sits on the throne
doesn’t matter to most of us
just dont mess with the status quo
lies paint my picture everyday
every stones been thrown
lay siege to my kingdom
my covers blown your 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 you steal their hard earned mule
was there ever a time we dreamed for something better?
right now sounds real good
but your telling me to wait for fairer weather

[chorus]
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

[chorus]
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

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 may i follow up that order
but all this talk dont come cheap
we all know what has to be done
Our very own personal revolution
revolution.. revolution.. revolution
revolution.. revolution.. revolution
revolution.. revolution.. revolution

[chorus]
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

[chorus]
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 …fire..

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 oh where do i go
little pablo doesnt even know how to read or write
im 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
an accent but kinda smells though
so where do you think youre going talking that kind of talk
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
lets 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 lets see where this all goes
I ask you all to bear witness to the rape of these young souls
they got front row seats dont tell me they know
i ask you all to bear witness to the rape of these young souls
they don’t need you donation what about education
i ask you all to bear witness to the rape of these young souls
no amount of praying gonna change their woes

[chorus]
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

[chorus]
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
