MiG Ayesa has written this beautiful song and this intro...
"This song is dedicated to all those millions of people who have been affected by the recent floods in the Philippines resulting from Typhoon Ondoy. Too many people have died, too many people are missing and too many people are left with nothing after the floods destroyed entire villages and homes.
This song is a song of hope, to all Filipinos that they are not forgotten. That help is on its way. I hope this (demo!) track inspires those relief workers to keep on going as well. This could well be the theme song for all the amazing work that is being done to help the victims.
However, the relief effort is under-funded and under-staffed. Those millions affected rely so much on too few.
This song is a 'call-to-arms' to all Filipinos and to everyone around the world to help.
Thank you to Freddie Santos for helping me get this out there, and for Shax Siasoco for the making of this video.
Let's turn the CALAMITY into CALM... "

I hear you calling out my name
And I can't just ignore what you're saying
I see you falling from the pain
And I'm feeling the way that your hurting
You're my brother, sister don't you cry
I'll be there by your side to hold you up
Though you never thought this would matter
I'll never leave you alone
So hold on tightly, hang on I'll be
There by your side and we'll battle the tide together...

Together...

Don't be scared we'll
Soon be where we
All want to be as we stand here united as one.
Pag langit ay du-mi-di-lim
(When dark clouds leaves you in despair)
And the rain seems to fall down forever
At buhay ay uma-aah-sim
(When life is just too much too bear)
And you can't feel the break in the weather
You don't have to worry
I'll help you carry on
Through the eye of the storm we're holding on
The day's dawning, feel the sun warming
Healing you, keeping you strong...
So hold on tightly, hang on I'll be
There by your side and we'll battle the tide together...
(Magkasama)
Together...
(Magkasama)
Don't be scared we'll
Soon be where we
All want to be as we stand here united as one.
