(words and music: jun asuncion)
I
I’ve been through the fire and the rain,
Lost some friends, gained some pain.
But I’m stll standing, I’m still here,
This loneliness is nothing to fear.
II
I’ve been through the ups and downs,
Lost my parents’ other children along the way.
But I’ll walk this lonely path with my head held high
For I carry my father’s name, my solid pride.
Chorus:
If it be my fate that I stand alone one day,
I’ll embrace with grace this destiny.
I’ll face this truth and no one else I’ll blame,
The warrior in me keeps me stronger ever more.
III
Here today, gone tomorrow, they say.
The truth that all must face at the end of day.
But I find solace in the memories of my parents so dear,
For, be it in deeds or in thoughts, never had I betrayed them, that’s clear.
IV
My destiny is here to stay, so let it be,
In this moment I live, so I flow with it.
Sorrows and pain they journey with me,
They will be my best friends by the break of day.
(repeat chorus)
