Two songs on a sunday

Karaoke fever has recently had me singing lots of tunes which I never dreamed of singing. Anni's so freaking noisy!!! Hahahaha!

And how I was thrilled to hear Yani sing for the first time (One last cry pa ang hirit, hahahaha!)

So, okay...here are my top four...hahahaha...

There's a hero 
If you look inside your heart 
You don't have to be afraid 
Of what you are 
There's an answer 
If you reach into your soul 
And the sorrow that you know 
Will melt away 

And then a hero comes along 
With the strength to carry on 
And you cast your fears aside 
And you know you can survive 
So when you feel like hope is gone 
Look inside you and be strong 
And you'll finally see the truth 
That a hero lies in you 

It's a long road 
When you face the world alone 
No one reaches out a hand 
For you to hold 
You can find love 
If you search within yourself 
And the emptiness you felt 
Will disappear 

And then a hero comes along 
With the strength to carry on 
And you cast your fears aside 
And you know you can survive 
So when you feel like hope is gone 
Look inside you and be strong 
And you'll finally see the truth 
That a hero lies in you 

Lord knows 
Dreams are hard to follow 
But don't let anyone 
Tear them away 
Hold on 
There will be tomorrow 
In time 
You'll find the way 

And then a hero comes along 
With the strength to carry on 
And you cast your fears aside 
And you know you can survive 
So when you feel like hope is gone 
Look inside you and be strong 
And you'll finally see the truth 
That a hero lies in you

Sana'y wala nang wakas
Kung pag-ibig ay wagas
Paglalambing sa 'yong piling
Ay ligaya kong walang kahambing

Kung 'di malimot ng tadhana
Bigyang tuldok ang ating ligaya
Walang hanggan ay hahamaking
'Pagkat walang katapusan kitang iibigin

Kahit na ilang tinik ay kaya kong tapakan
Kung 'yan and paraan upang landas mo'y masundan
Kahit ilang ulit ako'y iyong saktan
Hindi kita maaring iwanan

Kahit ilang awit ay aking aawitin
Hanggang ang himig ko'y maging himig mo na rin
Kahit ilang dagat and dapat tawirin
Higit pa riyan and aking gagawin

Sana'y wala nang wakas
Kapag hapdi ay lumipas
Ang mahalaga ngayon ay pag-asa
Dala ng pag-ibig, saksi buong daigdig

Kung 'di malimot ng tadhana
Bigyang tuldok ang ating ligaya
Walang hanggan ay hahamaking
'Pagkat walang katapusan kitang iibigin

Kahit na ilang tinik ay kaya kong tapakan
Kung 'yan and paraan upang landas mo'y masundan
Kahit ilang ulit ako'y iyong saktan
Hindi kita maaring iwanan

Kahit ilang awit ay aking aawitin
Hanggang ang himig ko'y maging himig mo na rin
Kahit ilang dagat and dapat tawirin
Higit pa riyan and aking gagawin

‘Di lamang pag-ibig ko
‘Di lamang ang buhay kong ibibigay
Sa ngalan nang pag-ibig mo
Higit pa riyan aking mahal, ang alay ko

How can you come with me
When you knew all along that you had to go
How could you watch me sleep close to you
Pretending not to know

How could you memorize my name
And forget who I am
How could you think you're still the same
Believing I can

It's too late to start pretending
It's too late for a new beginning
Later than the sunset
Later than the rain
Later than never
To love you again

How could you ask for more
Than an innocent smile
Trust in me to stay
How could you close the door
And leave me here
Supposing I'm okay

How could you break down my disguise
And uncover my fears
How could you look into my eyes
Ignoring my tears

It's too late to start pretending
It's too late for a new beginning
Later than the sunset
Later than the rain
Later than never
To love you again

I know that when you look at me
There's so much that you just don't see
But if you would only take the time
I know in my heart you'd find
Oh, oh, a girl who's scared sometimes
Who isn't always strong
Can't you see the hurt in me?
I feel so all alone

I wanna run to you
I wanna run to you
Won't you hold me in your arms
And keep me safe from harm?
I wanna run to you
But if I come to you
Tell me, will you stay
Or will you run away?

Each day, each day I play the role
Of someone always in control
But at night I come home and turn the key
There's nobody there, no one cares for me
Oh, oh, what's the sense
Of trying hard to find your dreams
Without someone to share it with
Tell me what this means

I need you here
I need you here to wipe away my tears
To kiss away my fears
If you only knew how much...

I wanna run to you
I wanna run to you
Won't you hold me in your arms
And keep me safe from harm?
I wanna run to you
But if I come to you
Tell me, will you stay
Or will you run away?
