I promised myself that I wouldn’t copy-paste anything on my journal -
ever. Personal standard lang ba… ayoko lang ng ganong entry. So,
pursuant to my promise and yet circumventing it in a way, I typed the
entire song below. If you can relate to it like I do, you’d understand
why it was worth kind of cheating myself:
I just ran out of roads again.
Don’t know where to turn.
I started counting stars again
Then I lost my way.
I’ve just ran out of time again.
Will I ever learn
To stop my chase for hours again
Only to learn I’ve lost the day?
The last thing I need
Is to hear this whisper in the wind.
The last thing I want
Is this voice that rises from within.
I need to go home soon, I know.
But maybe tomorrow, not now.
When the last thing I need here and now
Is this lasting need for you.
I’ve been rushing out of rooms again
Too afraid to stay.
I’ve dreaming of some rainbow’s end
But the colors melt away.
Should my heart be like an open door
Helpless to the storm,
Permit your wind to touch my soul
Only to leave this aching song?
The last thing I need
Is to hear this whisper in the wind.
The last thing I want
Is this voice that rises from within.
I need to go home soon, I know.
But maybe tomorrow, not now.
When the last thing I need here and now
Is this lasting need for you.
The one thing I need
Is to hear your whisper in the wind.
The one thing I want
Is your voice that rises from within.
I need to go home soon, to you.
Won’t wait for tomorrow, right now.
For the one thing I need here and now
Is this haunting need for you.
This haunting need for you.

I
heard in some movie once - everything is going somewhere. I think i’ll
take that a step further and say that that somewhere is home. And deep
down inside, although we may deny it or we may fight it because of
pride or fear or any other human inclination, we all want to be there.
And I’d like to think somehow, we’re indeed all on the way.
