pana na nakulawit subalit sa kabila ng

bulaklak ang syang tanging nag hahatid
sakanya sa katinuan at hindi ipagpapalit na

Ngayon ang simula ng hiram mong buhay
Ngayon ang daigdig mo’y bata at makulay
Ngayon gugulin mo nang tam’at mahusay
Bawat saglit at sandali
Magsikap ka’t magpunyagi
Maging aral bawat mali

Ngayon bago it ay maging kahapon (kahapon)
Ang pagkakataon sana’y huwag itapon (ooh)
Ikaw, tulad ko rin ay may dapithapon
Baka ika’y mapalingon
Sa nagdaang bawat ngayon
Nasayang lang na panahon

Ituring mong kahapo’y waring panaginip lang
Ang bukas, pangitain n’yang ganda’y sa isip lang,
Kung bawat ngayon mo sa ‘yo ay (laging) sulit lang
Kayganda ng buhay ngayon

Sa buhay mong hiram (sa buhay mo)
Mahigpit man ang kapit (kapit)
May bukas na sa yo’y di na rin sasapit (ooh)
Ngunit kung bawat ngayo’y dakila mong nagamit
Masasabi mong kahit na
Ang bukas, di sumapit pa
Ang naabot mo’y langit na

Ituring mong kahapo’y waring panaginip lang
Ang bukas, pangitain n’yang ganda’y sa isip lang
Kung bawat ngayon mo sa ‘yo ay (laging) sulit lang
Kayganda ng buhay
Bukas mo’y matibay
Dahil ang sandiga’y ngayon (ahh)

Ituring mong kahapo’y waring panaginip lang
Ang bukas, pangitain n’yang ganda’y sa isip lang,
Kung bawat ngayon mo sa ‘yo ay (laging) sulit lang
Kayganda ng buhay
Bukas mo’y matibay
Dahil ang sandiga’y ngayon (ahh)

Gwyneth Paltrow (feat Vince Gill) Official World Debut Live Video – Country Strong – Live CMA Awards 2010

I know you see me like some wide eyed dreamer
That just rolled in off up a dusty Midwest bus
Yeah, on the outside I look fragile
But on the inside is something you can’t crush

‘Cause I’m country strong
Hard to break
Like the ground I grew up on

You may fool me and I’ll fall
But I won’t stay down long
‘Cause I’m country strong

I have weathered colder winters
Longer summers without a drop of rain
Push me in a corner and I’ll come out fighting
I may lose but I’ll always keep my faith

‘Cause I’m country strong
Hard to break
Like the ground I grew up on

You may fool me and I’ll fall
But I won’t stay down long
‘Cause I’m country strong

‘Cause I’m country strong
Hard to break
Like the ground I grew up on

You may fool me and I’ll fall
But I won’t stay down long
‘Cause I’m country strong
I’m country strong

Yeah, I’m country strong
I’m country strong
I’m country strong
I’m country strong

Sunny came home to her favorite room
Sunny sat down in the kitchen
She opened a book and a box of tools
Sunny came home with a mission

She says days go by I’m hypnotized
I’m walking on a wire
I close my eyes and fly out of my mind
Into the fire

Sunny came home with a list of names
She didn’t believe in transcendence
It’s time for a few small repairs she said
Sunny came home with a vengeance

She says days go by I don’t know why
I’m walking on a wire
I close my eyes and fly out of my mind
Into the fire

Get the kids and bring a sweater
Dry is good and wind is better
Count the years, you always knew it
Strike a match, go on and do it

Days go by I’m hypnotized
I’m walking on a wire
I close my eyes and fly out of my mind
Into the fire
Light the sky and hold on tight
The world is burning down
She’s out there on her own and she’s alright
Sunny came home
Sunny came home…

Watch you when you say
What you are and when you blame
Everyone, You broken king
Watch you change the frame or
Watch you when you take your aim
At the sum of everything

Chorus
Cause you and your heart
shouldn’t feel so far apart
You can choose what you take
Why you gotta break and make it feel so hard

You lay there in the street
Like broken glass reflecting pieces of the sun
But you’re not the flame
You got the people passing by
Because you know what you don’t like
It’s just so easy, it’s just so easy

Chorus
But you and your heart
Shouldn’t feel so far apart
You can choose what you take
Why you gotta break and make it feel so hard
Oh and you and your heart
Shouldn’t feel so far apart
You can choose what you take
Why you gotta break and make it feel so hard

You draw so many lines in the sand
Lost the fingernails on your hands
How you’re gonna scratch any backs?
Better hope that time will take our lines away
Take all our lines and

Hope that time will take our lines and
Hope that time will take our lines away
Take all our lines away

This is the original version :

And this is Carrie Underwood’s performance in AI:

And of course, here’s the lyrics:

I set out on a narrow way, many years ago
Hoping I would find true love along the broken road
But I got lost a time or two
Wiped my brow and kept pushing through
I couldn’t see how every sign pointed straight to you

Every long lost dream led me to where you are
Others who broke my heart, they were like northern stars
Pointing me on my way into your loving arms
This much I know is true

That God blessed the broken road
That led me straight to you
Yes He did

I think about the years I spent, just passing through
I’d like to have the time I lost, and give it back to you
But you just smile and take my hand
You’ve been there, you understand
It’s all part of a grander plan that is coming true

Every long lost dream led me to where you are
Others who broke my heart, they were like northern stars
Pointing me on my way into your loving arms
This much I know is true

That God blessed the broken road
That led me straight to you

But now I’m just rolling home into my lover’s arms
This much I know is true

That God blessed the broken road
That led me straight to you

That God blessed the broken road
That led me straight to you

State the obvious
I didn’t get my perfect fantasy
I realized you love yourself
More that you could ever love me

So go and tell your friends
That I’m obsessive and crazy
That’s fine, I’ll tell mine
You’re gay and by the way

I hate that stupid old pickup truck
You never let me drive
You’re a redneck, heartbreak
Who’s really bad at lying

So watch me strike a match
On all my wasted time
As far as I’m concerned
You’re just another picture to burn

There’s no time for tears
I’m just sitting here planning my revenge
There’s nothing stopping me
From going out with all of your best friends

And if you come around
Saying sorry to me
My daddy’s going to show you
How sorry you’ll be

‘Cause I hate that stupid old pickup truck
You never let me drive
You’re a redneck, heartbreak
Who’s really bad at lying

And so watch me strike a match
On all my wasted time
As far as I’m concerned
You’re just another picture to burn

And if you’re missing me
You better keep it to yourself
‘Cause coming back around here
Would be bad for your health

‘Cause I hate that stupid old pickup truck
You never let me drive
You’re a redneck, heartbreak
Who’s really bad at lying

So watch me strike a match
On all my wasted time
In case you haven’t heard
I really, really hate that

Stupid old pickup truck
You never let me drive
You’re a redneck, heartbreak
Who’s really bad at lying

So watch me strike a match
On all my wasted time
As far as I’m concerned
You’re just another picture to burn

Burn, burn, burn, baby burn
Just another picture to burn
Baby burn

I was riding shotgun with my hair undone
In the front seat of his car
He’s got a one-hand feel on the steering wheel
The other on my heart

I look around, turn the radio down
He says, ?Baby is something wrong??
I say, ?Nothing I was just thinking
How we don’t have a song? and he says

Our song is the slamming screen door
Sneakin’ out late, tapping on your window
When we’re on the phone and you talk real slow
‘Cause it’s late and your mama don’t know

Our song is the way you laugh
The first date man, I didn’t kiss her and I should have
And when I got home, ‘fore I said amen
Asking God if He could play it again

I was walking up the front porch steps
After everything that day
Had gone all wrong or been trampled on
And lost and thrown away

Got to the hallway, well, on my way
To my lovin’ bed
I almost didn’t notice all the roses
And the note that said

Our song is the slamming screen door
Sneakin’ out late, tapping on your window
When we’re on the phone and you talk real slow
‘Cause it’s late and your mama don’t know

Our song is the way you laugh
The first date man, I didn’t kiss her and I should have
And when I got home, ‘fore I said amen
Asking God if He could play it again

I’ve heard every album, listened to the radio
Waited for something to come along
That was as good as our song

‘Cause our song is the slamming screen door
Sneakin’ out late, tapping on his window
When we’re on the phone and he talks real slow
‘Cause it’s late and his mama don’t know

Our song is the way he laughs
The first date man, I didn’t kiss him and I should have
And when I got home, ‘fore I said amen
Asking God if He could play it again
Play it again, oh, yeah, oh, oh, yeah

I was riding shotgun with my hair undone
In the front seat of his car
I grabbed a pen and an old napkin
And I wrote down our song

In 1985, “We Are the World” was first launched as a song and charity single originally recorded by the supergroup USA for Africa. It was written by Michael Jackson and Lionel Richie, and co-produced by Quincy Jones and Michael Omartian for the album We Are the World.

New generation singers recorded “We Are The World 25 For Haiti” last February 1st, 2010 in the same studio as the original 25 years earlier, in which Jones and Richie serve as executive producers and producers, was created in collaboration with executive producers Wyclef Jean, Randy Phillips and Peter Tortorici; producers Humberto Gattica and RedOne; and co-producers Rickey Minor, Mervyn Warren and Patti Austin. This time the purpose is for the benefit of the Haitian earthquake relief efforts and the rebuilding of Haiti.

We all need somebody that we can lean on
when you wake up look around and see that your dreams gone
when the earth quakes we’ll help you make it through the storm
when the floor breaks a magic carpet to stand on
we are the World united by love so strong
when the radio isn’t on you can hear the songs
a guided light on the dark road your walking on
a sign post to find the dreams you thought was gone
someone to help you move the obstacles you stumbled on
someone to help you rebuild after the rubble’s gone
we are the World connected by a common bond
Love the World planet sing it along

Tell em all I’m on vacation,
Say I went to visit friends,
That you ain’t heard or seen from me in quite a while,
When they ask you where I’ve been,
Tell em I’m out on the west coast where it don’t ever rain,
And that I’m probably doing fine,

(Chorus)
Just don’t tell em I’ve gone crazy,
That I’m still strung out over you,
Tell em anything you want to,
Just don’t tell em all the truth,
Yeah don’t tell em all the truth,

Tell em all I’m out in Vegas,
Blowin’ every dollar I ever made,
Tell em that I must be into something bad for me cause,
I sure lost a lot of weight,
Tell em I’m out on the road with some old rock and roll band,
Living like a gypsy can,

(Chorus)

The truth is that I’m asking you to lie,
And we both know that it ain’t right,
But if you ever loved me please,
Have some mercy on me,
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,

Tell em anything you want to,
Just don’t tell em all the truth,
Yeah don’t tell em all the truth,
I still need you,
Yeah that’s the truth,
I still love you,
Baby that’s the truth.
