Van Morrison - I Forgot That Love Existed



I forgot that love existed troubled in my mind.
Heartache after heartache, worried all the time.
I forgot that love existed
Then I saw the light
Everyone around me make everything alright.

Oh, oh Socrates and Plato they
Praised it to the skies.
Anyone who's ever loved
Everyone who's ever tried.

If my heart could do my thinking
And my head begin to feel
I would look upon the world anew

Freddie Aguilar - Anak (Child)




nang isilang ka sa mundong ito laking tuwa ng magulang mo
at ang kamay nila ang iyong ilaw at ang nanay at tatay mo'y
di malaman ang gagawin minamasdan pati pagtulog mo
at sa gabi'y napupuyat ang iyong nanay sa pagtimpla ng gatas mo
at sa umaga nama'y kalong ka ng iyong amang tuwang-tuwa sa iyo

ngayon nga ay malaki ka na nais mo'y maging malaya di man sila payag walang magagawa
ikaw nga ay biglang nagbago naging matigas ang iyong ulo

at ang payo nila'y sinuway mo di mo man lang inisip na
ang kanilang ginagawa'y para sa iyo pagkat ang nais mo'y
masunod ang layaw mo di mo sila pinapansin

nagdaan pa ang mga araw at ang landas mo'y naligaw
ikaw ay nalulong sa masamang bisyo at ang una mong nilapitan
ang iyong inang lumuluha at ang tanong,"anak, ba't ka nagkaganyan"
at ang iyong mata'y biglang lumuha ng di mo pinapansin
nagsisisi at sa isip mo'y nalaman mong ika'y nagkamali
nagsisisi at sa isip mo'y nalaman mong ika'y nagkamali
nagsisisi at sa isip mo'y nalaman mong ika'y nagkamali
nagsisisi at sa isip mo'y nalaman mong ika'y nagkamali

[English Translation]

When you were born into this world
Your mom and dad saw a dream fulfilled
Dream come true
The answer to their prayers

You were to them a special child
Gave ‘em joy every time you smiled
Each time you cried
They’re at your side to care

Child, you don’t know
You’ll never know how far they’d go
To give you all their love can give
To see you through and God it’s true
They’d die for you, if they must, to see you here

How many seasons came and went
So many years have now been spent
For time ran fast
And now at last you’re strong

Now what has gotten over you
You seem to hate your parents too
Do speak out your mind
Why do you find them wrong

Child you don’t know
You’ll never know how far they’d go
To give you all their love can give
To see you through and God it’s true
They’d die for you, if they must, to see you near

And now your path has gone astray
Child you ain’t sure what to do or say
You’re so alone
No friends are on your side

And child you now break down in tears
Let them drive away your fears
Where must you go
Their arms stay open wide

Child you don’t know
You’ll never know how far they’d go
To give you all their love can give
To see you through, And God it’s true
They’d die for you, if they must, to see you here

Child you don’t know
You’ll never know how far they’d go
To give you all their love can give
To see you through and God it’s true
They’d die for you, if they must, to see you here

Devendra Banhart - A Sight To Behold



It's a sight to behold
When you got small words to mold
And you can make 'em your own

Still love it would be much better
Love it would be much better
I'm told

It's like golden corn
And i love its golden glow
It's the little head inside your little hole
And out spring some sparkling thoughts

Still love it would be much better
Love it would be much better
Love it would be much better
Love it would be much better

It's like finding home
In an old folk song
That you've never ever heard
Still you know every word
And for sure you can sing along

But love it would be much better
Love it would be much better
Love it would be much better
Love it would be much better
I know, i know

Citizen Cope - Son's Gonna Rise



Rollin' down the highway
Like a rocket
God, I'm headed to town now
You can't stop it
Got wheel in my hand
As I stand
On the floor
Of the board
Of this car
On the road
Got this woman in the back seat
Yeah she's my wifey
In the middle of the delivery
Man she saves me
To this day I don't know why
She picked me up
When i was down on the road
With the wind when it blowed

Well a son's gonna rise in a mile
In a mile
You'll be feeling fine
In a mile you will see
After me
You'll be out of the dark, yeah
You'll get your shot
