ECHOES OF MY SONG

Echoes Of My Song
(Bomick)

It seemed just like yesterday
but t'was a couple of weeks ago,
a feeling of being lost in the wilderness...
It was dark, eerie and chaotic
and the passing time wasn't counted in days
but in seconds... it's like forever.
I didn't see it coming,
It was just right there in front of me...
with a smirk!!!
I wasn't aware at first,
It came unnoticed, unheard like on tiptoes.
Yet, the reality of hitting the brick wall... head on,
was extremely painful, confusing, traumatic
and damn right awful.
It exploded in a gigantic propulsion!

Knocking on death's door was not a joke...
the good thing was the gatekeeper
had a day off.
So, I was spared!
Although, I lost some perception,
aah, and a bit of weight, too.
A diet I won't recommend...
But then, I had to drag myself up again, I dusted myself down
and moved on...

Now, it may be a new direction,
perhaps, a new beginning, I don't know!
But what I'm sure of, some of you gave me
the strength and the will to survive
during those darkest hours...
You all know who you are!!!

The road will still be rocky,
sometimes dusty and dangerous.
But, my aim now is to finish the race.
I may sometimes slow down or
stop just to catch my breath
and I may stumble again.
But, I'll keep on going to finish
this journey...
And hey, by the way... I'll keep on running
while I'm listenin' to the echoes of my song...
riding in the wind!

ImaginOLPS
(Lennon-Miaco)

Imagine there's no heaven
It's easy if you try.
And no one can hear us
Sa ribok san lawnmower ni Pay.
ImaginOLPS people
Livin' for today... Ah, ah, aah

Imagine there's no kitchen
Pan-o na an barahaw nato?
No Latin, Spanish and more
And no Religion, too.
ImaginOLPS people
Livin' life in peace... Yoo hoo, ooh hoo

REFRAIN

You may say I'm nagdadrama
But I'm not the only one. (diri mao? Hehehehe.)
I hope someday you'll join and drink with us
In that place in Bibincahan.

Imagine there's no inspection
Of my private possessions.
Father, no need to check my locker
'Coz you'll be shocked to what you'll discover.
ImaginOLPS people
Sharing all the grog... with you.

Repeat Refrain and do CODA to end.

CODA

Imagine if there's no Blogger...
