ROUSER
(M. Baluyut, 2012)
In a distant cloud, I shall come undone
As I come to see the dark secrets of my history
And I slip and slide, in and out my mind
As I tend to feel the relentless force of my sanity
There’s a hole inside, piercing like a knife
Killing all that’s free, setting fire against my liberty
But I’m on my way, I will save the day
Come inside and see, all the things that I could truly be
I will find the Truth, spending all my youth
In ecstasy, finding Meaning in life’s brevity
There’s a cosmic blaze, and I’m not unfazed
Pretty girls run free, and the boys shall kill the enemy
Climb out with a ripping howl
Our voices shall shout out loud

HERE’S A TOAST TO THE HUMAN RACE
(M. Baluyut, 2012)
Here’s a toast to the human race
Here’s a toast to everyone who’s fallen out of grace
Here’s a toast to the human race
Here’s a toast to anyone who doesn’t have a face
Can’t you see?
You and me
We can be whatever we wanna be
Can’t you see?
You and me
Oh
Can’t you see?
You and me
We can be whatever we wanna be
Oh
Here’s a toast to the weak and cold
Here’s a toast to everyone whose brother’s got him sold
Here’s a toast to the weak and cold
Here’s a toast to everyone whose hopes have turned to mold
I paint a picture on the wall
And I can see the raindrops fall
Ditched the circus a long time ago
Yes, I’ve been there, to and fro
Near and far I have said my case
Yes, I’m in love with the human race
Here’s a toast to the human race
Here’s a toast to everyone who’s given up the craze
Here’s a toast to the human race
Here’s a toast to the human race

YOU & I # 6 & 7
(M. Baluyut, 2012)
In the middle of the night
The secrets that I hide
You know my name
And I can’t stay the same
You and I
We will be together
You and I
We will stay together
Death’s knocking at my door
Whispers on the wall
I go insane
When I don’t hear your name
You and I
We will be together
You and I
We will stay together
You and I
Yes, we can never lie to each other
Yes, you understand my pain
And you have my life to claim
Oh, in my life of pain
What is left to gain?
Nothing’s true
Without you
You and I
We will be together
You and I
We will stay together

BOY & GIRL
(M. Baluyut, 2012)
BOY:
For a boy of such simple tastes
It’s a joy to find a girl with a sophisticated face
And I’m happy that I have you
I love you
GIRL:
Yes, I met you when we’re both young
Laughed together, traveled places, boy, did we have fun
No regrets to find a boy like you
And I love you
BOY & GIRL:
In this crazy twisted world it’s so nice to find someone like you
Nothing’s certain but you make me smile whenever I feel blue
BOY:
You are there in my darkest days
And you help me through the bad times till I find my place
You’re the only one who can truly understand
GIRL:
I hope to be with you till we grow old
The way you hold my hand every time I feel so cold
Every morning just feels so new
When I’m with you
BOY & GIRL:
Life’s complicated and we’re both not sure of what the world may bring
But we’ll be winging it together, with the Good Lord we can do anything
GIRL: “Anything?”
BOY: “Anything.”
GIRL: “Okay.”
BOY:
Yes, I’ll love you till the day I die
GIRL:
There are no happy endings in this world but we can try
BOY & GIRL:
I’m your boy/girl and I’m glad I have you
And I love you

YES, JESUS
(M. Baluyut, 2008)
Yes, Jesus, oh I love you so
Yes, Jesus, come and lemme know
Yes, Jesus, won’t you gimme a sign
Come on, Jesus, come and ease my mind
Yes, Jesus, don’t you lemme go
Set the fire in me and make it glow
Oh, Jesus, tell me where to go
Come on, make me, make my river flow
Yes, Jesus, won’t you gimme a sign
Yes, Jesus, help me make some time
Yes, Jesus, come control my will
Yes, Jesus, come and make me feel
The thing that’s left unsaid
Is circling in my head
When I am feeling low
You smile and lemme know
The things of then and now
Are massive, huge and loud
My spirit and my soul
In you I am made whole
Jesus, lemme know
Oh, lemme know

GO WATCH YOURSELF II
(M. Baluyut, 2012)
Don't hurt yourself, boy
Be easy on yourself now
Don't hurt yourself, boy
There's nothing else to do tonight
There's nothing to think about
Nobody to impress
You don't have to try so hard
There's so much that you possess
Don't hurt yourself, boy
Be easy on yourself, man
Yes watch yourself, boy
Go out and see the stars at night
You're wondering what's next for you
In yourself you have relied
No wonder you're feeling blue
The piercing need to survive
Ang mundo'y umiikot
At ang layuni'y patuloy na huminga
Watch yourself, boy
Be careful of the things you say
Go watch yourself, boy
Sometimes you'll have to stop and play
Help is on the way
You'll have to believe somehow
There's nothing you'll have to say
Surrender on your knees and bow
Lift up your hands
Surrender
Pretender
Just close your eyes and you will see

YOU’RE IN EVERYTHING I SEE
(M. Baluyut, 2012)
I look at the sun, I look at the waves
I look at the stars and the trees
And there’s no time not to believe
You’re in everything I see
I look at the sky, I look at the moon
I see the flowers in full bloom
You’re looking at me, and it’s plain to see
That you’re in everything I see
And I live for you everyday
In my quiet moments I say
That, “I’m so glad that I have you”
In this world you make everything new
I look at the birds, I look at the bees
I see the mountains and I find peace
I cannot deny what I’ve known to believe
You’re in everything I see

Let People Fall In Love
(M. Baluyut, 2015)
Look at all these people
Waiting for the right time
Searching for a love that lasts a lifetime
We falter and we suffer
Yet it all won’t matter
Always hoping for a bit of sunshine
And the sun and the moon
They shall fade away quite soon, my dear
And we’ll grow old till the moment that we die
Oh no
So why bother
Let people fall in love
The fathers and the mothers
Caring for their young ones
Hoping that their lives will be alright
The cycle in the circle
Has been tested and tried
So why won’t you and I look at the sunrise?
Ain’t too late, ain’t too soon
Oh, the tenderness that blooms, my dear
Come around and leave your worries all behind
It’s okay
This Life will wither
Let people fall in love
