Yesterday

Yesterday

By: Tonio Sison

Yesterday, was a blur...

Yesterday seemed like forever.
Yesterday was yesterday

She looked so beautiful
As beautiful as she's ever looked
Her eyes sparked...
But she looked as if she'd cried beforehand...

When she walked down the aisle,
I knew she was right...
I knew it all along..
I should've listened to her...

I didn't love her...
I knew she loved him...

Yesterday I was with someone...
Today I'm all alone
Tomorrow I'm thinking of him
And what could've been...

He looked so handsome
More beautiful than ever
She was his forever...
I'm just stuck here in despair...

Without him there is no forever.

Today

Today

By: Tonio Sison

Today's the day, I hope I can do it,
I don't want to let anyone down.
It's beginning to kick in.

I watch as the people slowly arrive
I see them with their suit & ties
Gowns oh so beautiful
Everyone so made up.

Have I made up my mind?
I see him yet I don't feel anything.
I love him? But I love someone more...

Why can't we be together?
Why has this world kept us apart.
I think about him day and night.
I just wish he was here with me.

Today I will change my last name,
I will change it to the name they all want
But a name in which isn't meant for me.

Today is the day in which I'd want to forget
I will forever be with someone I do not love.

 Today is the worst day of my life...

Tonight

Tonight

By: Tonio Sison

Tonight begins a new chapter of my life,
I stop and stare and see all the people there.
Sitting and patiently waiting for me.

Tonight begins a new chapter of my life,
The days have gone by oh so fast.
Could time slow down just for a second?

Tonight begins a new chapter of my life,
The decorations so beautiful.
The altar so lovely.
Everyone awaits now for the entrance.

Tonight begins a new chapter of my life,
One filled with no regrets.
One that will be forever remembered,
Tonight is the night.

"I object!" I say.

Sana

Sana

By: Tonio Sison

Sana ako nalang,
Sana may nangyari pa.
Sana dito ka parin.
Sana ang aking kamay,
Ang hinahawak mo.
Sana yung yakap ko,
Ang iyong niraramdaman.

Sana ikaw parin,
Sana tayo.
Sana hindi ka umalis,
Sana hindi mo nalang pinili siya.
Sana…

Sinasabi ko sana,
Dahil iniisip ko sana.
Dahil ikaw,
Ikaw parin ang nasa puso ko.
Puso ko’y na tumitibok parin para sayo.
Ikaw parin ang hinahanap ko,
Hinahanap ko sa kanila.

Ngunit sa lahat ng sana,
Meron din rason kung bakit.
Bakit hindi tayo nagkatuluyan.
Bakit iniwan mo ako para sa kanya,
Nung alam mo na ikaw lang ang minahal ko.
At kung bakit,
Bakit hindi tayo nararapat para sa isa’t-isa

History of Our Nation

History of Our Nation

By: Tonio Sison

Tyrants and dictators rise,

Their power and influence grows.

They won't stop 'til they reach their end goal.

Greed and fear overwhelm them,

They envy and lust for something greater.

Tyrants and dictators rise,

Brute force and mighty strength,

Chaos and bloodshed,

Death....abuse....torture.

Fallacies and broken dreams... 

Darkness.

Tyrants and dictators rise,

The end doesn't justify the means.

Control is what they crave,

Brutality and injustice fill this race.

Tyrants and dictators rise,

Yet still they don't have an end in sight.

The breaking point comes.

Their maturity date is upon us.

Emergence of heroes,

The fight for freedom.

People will not throw away their shot,

Their chance to be part of something great.

The fall of tyrants and dictators,

It happened.

People believed and it happened.

A hope lost for so long,

Now finally can arise.

The fall of tyrants and dictators,

Are celebrated with hymns of joy and freedom.

At long last we can be one,

United and equal!

The fall of tyrants and dictators,

Stability and progress.

The sight people loved to behold.

Our future has no dark in it no more,

For what has come upon us,

Is a bright and great present,

With an extraordinary future.

One cannot wait for the day,

When we will finally reach our goals!

Peace, Love, Equality, Justice, Respect!

All the good things around us!

Tyrants and dictators rise.

O Pag-ibig

O Pag-ibig

By: Tonio Sison

O pag-ibig bakit ganito?

Sa lahat ng tao sa mundo,

Bakit pinili mo ako?

Hindi ko maintindihan,

Kung bakit laging ganyan,

Na ako'y nasasaktan.

O pag-ibig bakit ganito?

Sa lahat ng babae nagustuhan ko,

Bakit siya lang ang nasa laman ng puso ko,

Puso kong lumiligaw.

Bigyan mo sana ako ng paraan!

Sagutin mo ang aking mga dasal!

O pag-ibig

Hindi kita malilimutan
