To you, it never happened
But I'm certain that it happened
The terrors of this place
Were taken out of pace
The colours of tomorrow
We'll never see it fly again
Cos out of sorrow
They washed it out, off the bay
Mama said, "come," running to the borders of the sky
"There we'll start over it is time to aim high;
Lies a perfect hideout might not see what it's about;
All I know, it's perfect a runway for us to fly."
Every corner has its eyes on us (Every corner has its eyes on us)
Every breath I take, I pay a price (Every breath I take, I pay a price)
This is why we tell our story
Blinded by the things we can't see
Every corner has its eyes on us
And the room gets louder
To you, there is no difference
But I see all of the fences
Bordering the maze where we chose to live
The colours of tomorrow
We'll never see it fly away
Cos out of sorrow
They took the arrow
Kapag ako'y tumatakbo, naririnig ko ang bugso
Ng damdamin
Pilit na inaamin sa sarili ko
Ako ay nagkamali't nag iba ng ugali
Kailan pipiliin itanggi ang sarili?
Tayo ay tali sa lubid ng mga istorya
Ng kasaysayan na punong-puno ng mga bala
Piniling kalimutan ang iyong pinanggalingan
Upang makibagay at maintindihan
Nag aalangan, noon lumipat ng bayan
Iyong tinalikuran wikang nakasanayan
Well, it's definitely difficult to live in a place
When everyone around you thinks you're out of the race, yeah
Every corner has its eyes on us (Every corner has its eyes on us)
Every breath I take, I pay a price (Every breath I take, I pay a price)
This is why we tell our story
Blinded by the things we can't see
Every corner has its eyes on us
And the room gets louder
Mama said, "come," running to the borders of the sky
"There we'll start over it is time to aim high;
Lies a perfect hideout might not see what it's about;
All I know, it's perfect a runway for us to fly."
Every corner has its eyes on us (Every corner has its eyes on us)
Every breath I take, I pay a price (Every breath I take, I pay a price)
This is why we tell our story
Blinded by the things we can't see
Every corner has its eyes on us
And the room gets louder
Sa bawat paghakbang
Siya ba'y nakaabang
Binansagang perlas ng silanganan ang tahanan
Ang tangi kong hiling
Huwag sana niya kong itakwil
Pagkat di ko hinangad ang kanyang lupa ay lisanin
Banyaga man ang mga salitang sinasambit
Kapalit ang pagkakataong pangarap makamit
I admit, I never gave myself a chance to pick
But now, telling my story through music is my new trick.
Ooh, to you, it never happened
To you, there is no difference
Ooh, to you, it never happened
But I'm certain that it happened
