Some people are afraid to show their true colors
i am not
i don't hide
i have nothing to hide
i am what i am
i am brown, i am a Filipino,
and I am not afraid, I am what i am, i show who and what i am, and i take responsibitity
for what i am
for what i write for what i do for what i say
mountains do not hide, how can they? the seas keep their bodies in the open
their waves blown by the air, for how can they be what they are when they are in hiding?
the trees and the plains, the valleys and the hills, what can they be if they are in hiding? shall you see a vast desert of them then?
the air, if only they have that nature to be seen, they could have assumed such forms that you see, they too are happy to be seen so that you may believe in them,
for in truth, those true and giving do no hide, and if you cannot see them,
they always try,
in some conceivable manifestations,
in some shapes, colors and forms
like some leaves falling when the wind passes by,
like some trees bending, like some pieces of paper blown to the other end.
why are you in hiding?

The Ones Unaware
There is no sense in hiding.
What does one hide?
And from whom?
Formulated identities,
Are what they are.
And this people see.
What is hidden is not invisible.
An obviousness is there.
The only ones in hiding,
Are the ones unaware!
There is no sense in hiding.
What does one hide?
And from whom?
Misdeeds done...
Eventually come to bloom.
For all to see.
From those places no longer assumed.

Hide Away
Hiding Away
Losin' the day
As if it doesn't really matter
Saying Goodbye
Scared to say why
Afraid it will shatter our world
Show me some faith now
Trust me somehow
Why are we keepin' our secret
Why are we hiding ourselves away
Any way we can hide away
I dont wanna fake it
I wanna make you believe, but i cant
I wont let you... hide away
Where do we go
How do we know
What we're ever really after
Sometimes it's clear
When you are here
Nothing can shatter our world
I need some faith now
To trust you somehow
Why are we keepin our secret
Why are we hiding ourselves away
Any way we can hide away
I dont wanna fake it
I wanna make you believe but i cant
I wont let you...hide away
Maybe i, maybe i, maybe i'm losin
Maybe i, maybe i, maybe i'm broken
Turn around, look around, go around in circles
Dont run away, drift away, dont hide away
Why are we keepin our secrets
Why are we hiding ourselves away
Any way you can, hide away
I dont wanna fake it
I wanna make you believe but i say
Ohh but i cant
Believe what i said
I wont let you hide away, hide away
Hiding away, losin my day
As if it doesn't really matter

Nowhere To Run
Dont know whats been going on in your head, no
When you knew that his love was through
You closed your eyes instead
I was there with a shoulder to lean on
Its not gonna happen twice
If you go I just want you to know
Its alright
Nowhere to run, nowhere to run
Nowhere to hide, nowhere to hide
Nowhere to run, nowhere to run
Nowhere to hide, nowhere to hide
Did you think it would open up in the night, yeah
Just pretend Im only a friend and disappear from sight
One day youre gonna be lonely, wishing I was by your side
And one day youll think of me only
But girl, you gotta take the ride
Well too bad, now that the damage is done
Nowhere to run, nowhere to run
Nowhere to hide, nowhere to hide
Nowhere to run, nowhere to run
Nowhere to hide, nowhere to hide
Nowhere to run, nowhere to run
Nowhere to hide, nowhere to hide
Nowhere to run, nowhere to run
Nowhere to hide, nowhere to hide
Little girl, gonna make your bed in the night, yeah
Now you say youre going away
But I will keep your heart
And you will cry when you realize you were wrong
Run on, run on
Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide
Nowhere to run, no
Nowhere to run, nowhere to run
Nowhere to hide, nowhere to hide
Nowhere to run, nowhere to run
Nowhere to hide, no
Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide

Hiding From Yourself
I see you sneakin' round with that stash you carry
Looking like a cat that swallowed a canary
You can hide it from the world
You can wear a good disguise
The weight of self deception is right there in your eyes
Little sister cant you see your own good?
The light inside of you is understood
Don't put yourself down for being human now
Don't have to live like someone else
You're Hiding from Yourself
You're running from the one friend that you really need
You're Hiding from yourself baby
You're lying to the one that needs you desperately
Baby you don't have to hide
You can always run to me
I see you with your friends shoutin at the moon
It aint a party if its over too soon
You can take it to the edge
You can buy a little time
Or waste you life's emotions in a silent pantomine
Little sister no one understands
You try to numb the pain anyway you can
But now you've seen the rain
And now it's time for change
Look out the sun is breaking through
You're Hiding from Yourself
You're running from one friend that you really need
You're Hiding from yourself baby
You're lying to the one that needs you desperately
Baby you don't have to hide
You can always run to me
There is no reason for your tears
You're like a scared little girl
There is a cure all for your fears
Look to the light of the world
You're Hiding from Yourself

Caught
As a child,
I remember the first time...
Playing hide-and-seek.
Peeking to duck.
That's all I knew to do.
I didn't want to be the one caught.
I thought my hiding places could not be seen.
With a thinking everything I said,
And where I could be would be believed.
I was a child and a child occupied my head.
And I would lie as I hid from others to hide.
But as a child I had no idea,
My attempts to fool and deceive...
Others much older than me already did.
It was as if I had been a plate of unclouded glass.
Hiding.
But everywhere I sought to hide...
Eventually I was caught.
I thought my hiding places could not be seen.
With a thinking everything I said,
And where I could be would be believed.
Until it dawned on me when I got older...
I was no longer a child seeking hiding places sought.
And I grew tired of that as I matured.
Tired I grew...
Of getting caught.

Andi
Andi won't dance
Andi won't sing
Andi won't play
She sits in her room, hiding away, hiding away
She hasn't a friend
They think she's a boy, they leave her alone
But what they don't know
Andi has dreams, all of her own
Yea, she wants to be a lady
Can anyone see?
That's she's trapped inside a little boy's body
She's waiting
For the dream of her life
To be a lady
That's all she wants to be
(Chorus)
Andi you're not just anyone
Don't be ashamed
Open the door, don't hide away
Your dreams will awaken
Andi you're not just anyone
Don't take the blame
Though you're scared and all alone
You'll be there someday
Oh Andi, you're old enough to know
Don't ask me why
The leaves they fall down from the trees
But in the spring, they come again
Yes, they come again
Oh Andi, don't be afraid
Oh Andi
Andi can you hear me?
Will you come out on your own?
Oh the voice in the distance
Saying don't be afraid, Andi
I will make you somebody
I will make you a lady
The dream of your life
A lady, is what you will be
(Chorus)

Come Out, Come Out Wherever You Are
As a 'precocious' child,
And extremely curious...
The playing of hide and seek,
Was fun until it wasn't.
Yes...
I use to peek to see,
Where the others would hide first...
Before I found a place impossible,
To be found.
Then I would leave the neighborhood,
To walk around and adventure.
And when I returned,
Those same kids would be hiding.
To be sought.
Today?
Those same 'kids' are hiding,
To be sought.
And there is something about that,
I no longer find amusing.
Come out, come out wherever you are.
Your children have become crazed.

When have I been open?
I hide my love
When I love women across.
I hide my hate
When I work with my rivals
I hide my contempt
When I move with the low beings.
I hide my jealousy
In my brothers’ glory.
I hide my displeasure
When I yield to the power.
I hide my reservation
In my wife’s parental affinity.
I hide my inconvenience
When unwanted guests disturb.
I hide my selfishness
When I deal with my siblings.
I hide my bias
When I treat my sons and daughters.
When have I been open
When I have been with others?

Your Eyes
Youre not in control
when theres demands put on your heart
you dont even know
cause when its real you fall to hard
and yet even so
you try to play like nothings wrong
no you cant run away
there is no hiding place
cause you cant run from your heart
Chorus:
Your eyes they tell me secrets that you
you cant deny
your eyes they show me feelings that you
hold deep inside
how would I know the secrets
that you try to hide
cause when I look in your eyes
the truth is alive
I knew youd be mine
So now that its on
its time to face reality
its time to be strong
take on your insecurities
dont be afraid
youve gotta let your feelins flow
no you cant run away
there is no hiding place
youve gotta be true to your heart
Chorus
now that youre all turned out
dont you just love the way that it feels
yeah, yeah
Now you cant do without my love
and you know its for real
now why youd deny yourself
Id never, never, never understand
because I love you
and you love me too
and that just the way that it is yeah
Chorus (2 times)
your eyes, your eyes, your eyes
they tell me secrets that you keeps inside
your eyes, your eyes, your eyes
dont be afraid aint nowhere to hide
how would I know the secrets that you try to hide
cause when I look in your eyes the truth is alive
I knew youd be mine

A Prediction....
as usual we know about it as
hills know its trees
as grass knows its hoppers
and soil
but we don't talk about it
we dislike storms
it is horrible to see uprooted trees
and blown away houses
we leave things as they are
there is no ripeness yet
but the way you withhold love
and hide second thoughts
very give the signal of the coming days
a desert shall produce its own sandstorm
you prepare the door
i too, keep the windows.

Art of Mask
The silk veil, the carved wood
The paper face, the painted make up
The iron armor, the invisible glass
Hide your emotion behind the weapon
The unreadable expression, the silly laugh
The threatening glare, the crocodile tear
The forced sympathy, the feign act
Hide your pain behind the denial
The secret identity, the character play
The costume rites, the dance tale
The power symbol, the master of disguise
Hide the truth behind the wall
For performance, for protection
For undercover, for impression
For distraction, for pleasure
Hide the person behind the shadow
Color it black, smear with blood
Coat it red, shot with courage
Dip it white, polish with faith
Hide the heart behind the layer
A faithful pledge, a shameful scar
A hero hiding, a nemesis sneaking
A beauty saved, a beast caged
Hide the secret behind the light

Sad But Not Bad
Sad But Not Bad
I am always sad now
when I think of ewe,
please do not fail
to understand me,
it is not bad to feel this way!
I do not mean that ewe have made me sad,
losing ewe would kill me,
worse now than I was;
when life was pain and eating food and walking in the sun!
I never hid away from life from fights or pain!
Now I feel like hiding just to greet the day,
in hopes of being with ewe on a future day!
Time is not an enemy of pain!
It helps me to let time slip bye for days:
for days I let the time go bye
I live to go away
To hide to hide to hide--
-to hide -to abide in hopeful bliss
--just hopeful for one kiss
to hide from being sad
but its not bad
I love Ewe

I Think You Are Right
when you said that it is harder
to hide something which is not there
i tried to think upon such a paradox
of hiding nothing
you are right
when there is nothing to hide
that becomes a heavy burden
when you open my mind
and find out that there is nothing in there
worth loving
worth reading
the burden becomes unbearable
all your castles of expectations fall
like the tower of sand
on the shore

Your Another Half-part
Though I'm shitting everywhere
I don't have to hide in anywhere
I'm out here and there
In the deepest hide
I broke out with freedom
I don't have to hide in anywhere
Though I'm shitting and You non-shitting?
You regard me as imperfection
Sure I'm not, and I don't have to be
Yet I'm not mean, and sneakingly hiding forever
out from sunshine
If I'm the acid rain
Once I got under the sunshine
But the other half-part of you
Is not as beautiful as your heart decipted to be
The darkness it hides
Can never see the sunshine
get under the sunshine

Paranoid Eyes
Button your lip dont let the shield slip
Take a fresh grip on your bullet proof mask
And if they try to break down your disguise with their questions
You can hide hide hide
Behind paranoid eyes
You put on your brave face and slip over the road for a jar
Fixing your grin as you casually lean on the bar
Laughing too loud at the rest of the world
With the boys in the crowd
You hide hide hide
Behind petrified eyes
You believed in their stories of fame fortune and glory
Now youre lost in a haze of alchohol soft middle age
The pie in the sky turned out to be miles too high
And you hide hide hide
Behind brown and mild eyes

Masks
Some people wears a mask,
afraid to let their feelings show.
Sometimes they wear them
when they are happy,
when they don’t need them at all.
Some wear a mask when they are sad
to hide their feeling there.
Some hide their anger,
others hide their shame,
while others hide behind a mask
trying to show they have no feelings at all.

I Cant Hide
I got a secret
Its here in my heart
And I cant even tell my friends.
How much I adore you
Im fallin apart
I got to kept it deep within.
The way that I love you
I cant even say I promise not to
Tell a soul
It wont last too long, a feeling so strong
And I cant hide the way.
(chorus)
I cant hide the way Im feeling inside
The pain is killing me
Cause I want to let the world know
Its you Im lovin
I cant hide the way Im feeling inside
The pain is killin me
Cause I want to let the world know its you Im lovin.
Its something so special, this thing that we share
So why cant we just let it go
Its easy to see
Can they know that we should be as one.
Its out in the open
Our cover is blown and I dont care who really knows
I need to be with you
Cant take it no more, cause baby I need you.
(bridge)
Lovin you feels so right,(lovin you feels so right)
I dont want to have to live a lie ( I dont want to lie)
The way you touch, the way you kiss drives me out of my mind
(Ill never love)
Boy Ive never loved this way before baby
So Ive given you the keys to my door
With every touch I want you more
Dont want to let my feelings show
I cant hide.

Im not afraid to let my feelings show
I cant hide them no more (no more)
Cause no matter what they say
Its never gone to change the way that I feel for you
Cause boy I love (I love you )

There will be rain
There will be rain here
We normally run for shelter
Who wants to be wet in the rain
And look like a helpless chick in the drain?
There will be rain
And we will be seeking shades under the trees
And run towards waiting sheds where the rain
Cannot harm our sensibilities,
There will be rain and more rains to come
In our lives, and we always run for secure
Shelters, and we always have umbrellas,
And raincoats, and closed cars, we hide to places
Where The rain cannot harm us,
But today, there is rain, and I will take
Another action, I will not run for shelter,
Or take shades in trees, or be in waiting sheds,
I will not even open my car, get into it and close it,
I am not afraid of rain now; I have no fears getting wet
And look like a helpless chick, I will run in the
Middle of the rain, I will play in the rain, I will
Be with the rain throughout its pouring,
I will be wet, and it will rain and rain,
Let it rain and rain and rain
You will not see, my tears falling, tears hiding in the rain.
