[Verse] In the halls of power shadows play Leaders shout and lead astray Promises made like castles of sand Broken by a single hand [Verse 2] From high above the man commands Unraveling deals with sudden demands No room for talks for compromise Only walls built on lies [Chorus] Oh spirits of the past cry out Where is reason do you hear the shouts Madness in the land of the free Bound by chains we can't see [Verse 3] Reaching hands across the aisle For just a moment there's a smile But thunder strikes and skies turn gray Chaos orders hearts betray [Chorus] Oh spirits of the past cry out Where is reason do you hear the shouts Madness in the land of the free Bound by chains we can't see [Bridge] In the silence truth stands tall But echoes fade in marble halls With every twist the echoes die Leaving only a whispered sigh

[Verse 1] Snow fell softly on that old dirt road, Grandpa's laughter as the fire glowed, Mama's cooking filled our little home, In a night that felt like we weren't alone. [Verse 2] Kids were playing by the Christmas tree, Handmade ornaments for all to see, Daddy's guitar strummed a simple tune, As we waited for the midnight moon. [Chorus] It's a Christmas miracle, a small-town delight, Family gathered under the stars so bright, Love in our hearts, peace in our souls, In a winter wonder that makes us whole. [Verse 3] Stepping outside, we breathed in the air, Frost on the windows, love everywhere, Neighbors waved and wished us well, In a night where magic dwells. [Verse 4] Candles lit on the windowsills, Whispers of hope in the December chills, Presents wrapped in paper and string, Little moments make our spirits sing. [Chorus] It's a Christmas miracle, a small-town delight, Family gathered under the stars so bright, Love in our hearts, peace in our souls, In a winter wonder that makes us whole.

[Verse] Gazing at the midnight sky Stars above me wink and sigh Whispers weave through night so deep Dreams we promise hearts to keep [Verse 2] Walking on a cobbled street Echoes of our hearts that beat Softly singing love's old tune Chasing shadows of the moon [Chorus] Under the moonlight we feel alive Each glance a story wild and bright Together we face the endless night With you my heart is free in flight [Verse 3] Sandy shores and ocean's song Waves that crash where we belong Hand in hand we face the dawn Stronger now Forever drawn [Bridge] Every touch a silent vow In the breeze let's linger now Time can wait We've found our way In your arms I wish to stay [Chorus] Under the moonlight we feel alive Each glance a story wild and bright Together we face the endless night With you my heart is free in flight

The pine trees hum a gentle song, I’ve waited for this, it’s been so long. The mountain calls, the air so clear, Baguio’s chill, I hold you near. The fog drapes low, the morning bright, Cold winds dance in soft moonlight. A timeless peace, a sweet release, Home at last in Baguio’s breeze. Each cobbled path, each whispered pine, Tells a story of a love divine. The chill I craved, the air I missed, A home like this, my heart insists. Oh, Baguio’s breeze, you’re my refrain, A soothing balm, a cure for pain. Forever here, my soul’s at ease, Wrapped in the arms of Baguio’s breeze.
[Verse] Down by the dusty old neon sign We sip on cola as the stars align Mixin' Fanta for a fun new twist Under the moonlight we can't resist [Verse 2] Forget the troubles from nine to five With cola and Fanta we come alive Talkin' dreams and silly banter In a world of cola and orange Fanta [Chorus] Cola gives a kick so sweet and bold Fanta's fizzin' with stories untold Together they make the perfect blend A bubbly bond that will never end [Verse 3] In the back of a pickup truck we roam With cola and Fanta we're never alone Humming tunes from the old jukebox Together we can break all the clocks [Bridge] Underneath the twilight's gentle spell We toast to cola and Fanta as well Dancin' 'round with carefree laughter Forgetting time now and hereafter [Chorus] Cola gives a kick so sweet and bold Fanta's fizzin' with stories untold Together they make the perfect blend A bubbly bond that will never end
Oh, my husband, you're a bit of a mess, You leave your shoes around, I must confess. You forget the little things, it drives me wild, But in your eyes, I see that perfect smile. You’ve got your quirks, your ways, your flaws, But I still love you through it all. I’m here for the good, the bad, and the in-between, Even when you don’t know what’s on my mind, unseen. Oh, my husband, you’re my every day, Even when you drive me crazy in every way. You’re the reason I smile, the reason I sigh, Even though sometimes, I want to wave goodbye. But I’ll stay, I’ll fight, I’ll love you still, Through the ups, the downs, and the life we build. Oh, my husband, you're my home, my heart, Even when we’re miles apart. You leave the dishes, then say, "I’ll get them soon," I’m picking up after you while you hum a tune. Your jokes are lame, but you make me laugh, I can’t stay mad, even when I’m feeling half. You don’t always listen, don’t always see, But you’re the one who makes this life feel free. You call me your “boo boo,” your “kitten,” your “star,” And sometimes I wonder if you know who you are. Oh, my husband, you’re my every day, Even when you drive me crazy in every way. You’re the reason I smile, the reason I sigh, Even though sometimes, I want to wave goodbye. But I’ll stay, I’ll fight, I’ll love you still, Through the ups, the downs, and the life we build. Oh, my husband, you're my home, my heart, Even when we’re miles apart. You’re George, you’re Tony, you’re Anthony too, Whoever you are, I’m stuck here with you! But through all the names, the confusion, the mess, I still choose you, and I’ll always confess— Oh, my husband, you’re my every day, Even when you drive me crazy in every way. You’re the reason I smile, the reason I sigh, Even though sometimes, I want to wave goodbye. But I’ll stay, I’ll fight, I’ll love you still, Through the ups, the downs, and the life we build. Oh, my husband, you're my home, my heart, Forever and always, you’re my missing part.
[Verse] While the dreamers sleep in blinds of gold The wolves of greed are getting bold They gnaw our rights and sell our soul And we just watch the dark unfold [Verse 2] The fires burn the waters rise Truth lies hidden 'neath disguise We’re busy chasing vacant highs Ignoring desperate Muffled cries [Chorus] Wake up now before it’s gone We’ve gotta sing a battle song Voice of thunder loud and strong Or our freedom won’t last long [Verse 3] They wage their wars on borrowed time With jaded hearts and twisted rhyme They'll trade away the days sublime Leaving echoes of our prime [Chorus] Wake up now before it’s gone We’ve gotta sing a battle song Voice of thunder loud and strong Or our freedom won’t last long [Bridge] The silent ones must break the mold The path to justice must be bold In this fight we can't be sold Come together hearts of gold
[Verse] We sit in shadows eyes half closed While power brokers choose our woes The ship is sinking while we dream Silent screaming in a noisy stream [Verse 2] They sell us lies wrapped in dismay Kicking stones along the way While bitter weeds grow in our yard It's time to act it's not that hard [Chorus] What we stand to lose we must defend This world's not theirs to twist and bend Don't let apathy be our guide Rise and fight for what's inside [Verse 3] They pave the forests build with greed Our cries for justice go in heed The ground is cracking under foot We must wake up and cast the root [Bridge] Our ancestors fought for freedoms fire Don't let their battles now expire We're stronger when we shout as one The silent protest has begun [Verse 4] Heed the call and raise your voice It's time to make a daring choice They won't silence what we expose The wind of change in every prose
[Verse] You sit in silence while the world turns gray The wolves are howling they're hungry for prey Your freedoms crumble like ancient clay Stand up and fight don't just waste away [Chorus] Wake up brother sister open your eyes The fire's climbing burning all disguise There’s a storm brewing in these clear skies Freedom is fading under all their lies [Verse 2] We've seen the promises fall through the crack While puppet masters stab our dreams and laugh They’ve chained our voices buried the facts It’s time we fight to get our lives back [Chorus] Wake up brother sister open your eyes The fire's climbing burning all disguise There’s a storm brewing in these clear skies Freedom is fading under all their lies [Bridge] The ink's still wet on our future’s page It's not too late to unleash our rage Tear down the walls break out of this cage Hold hands together light up the stage [Verse 3] Our hope is fragile our spirit strong If we just sit here we're aiding the wrong Asleep in daylight for far too long Rise up resist where we all belong
[Verse] There's a man in a suit with a dangerous plan Selling fear to the folks who don't understand National guard marching to his twisted beat Freedom's a memory fading in the heat [Verse 2] Promises of power whispers in the air Liberty held hostage by a grim affair A shadow on the move like a creeping vine Distant drums warning us of the thin red line [Chorus] Oh The rising tide of shadows Will quench the spark of dreams Drowning truth in echo chambers In a whirlwind of evil schemes [Verse 3] Uniforms and rifles on the city streets Crushing dissent under tyrant's feet Fear and control is their only charade But we stand together Unafraid [Verse 4] From the hearts of the people A clarion call Resist the whip Defy the walls We won’t be tools for their master’s plot For hope in unity We’ve fought and fought [Chorus] Oh The rising tide of shadows Will quench the spark of dreams Drowning truth in echo chambers In a whirlwind of evil schemes
