WHY? (feat. Bamboo)

I was born in the Philippine islands
Where hope is the key to survivin'
But no matter what, keep it free, keep it smilin'
Who goin' to pick me up just to keep me from drownin'?
Tryin' to flood our minds with the lies and illusions
Open up your eyes, realize what they doin'?
Lift your heads high, you and I are the future
All in this together, we can find a solution

Hey! Stand up, my people
Let them know that we know
Lagi na lang paikot-ikot
I can't go for that, no!

I don't know why I love you
I don't know why I love you
I don't know why I love you
I don't know why I love you

Now this goes out to the leaders and elitists
Yeah, the people wanna know how you even try to lead us
As the waters rise beneath us, people pickin' up the pieces
Promises you never keep, now we callin' up to Jesus
Oh my God! I guess it's up to us to free us
'Cause the only real power is the power of the people
So we put the pressure on till they hear us and they see us
Either way, we know change on the way, yeah, believe us

Hey! Stand up, my people
Let them know that we know
Lagi na lang paikot-ikot
I can't go for that, no!

I don't know why I love you
I don't know why I love you
I don't know why I love you
I don't know why I love you

Aking mahal na bayan
Hindi kita pababayaan
Lagi kitang ipaglalaban
Hangad ang pag-unlad at kalayaan
Aking mahal na bayan
Hindi kita pababayaan
Lagi kitang ipaglalaban
Hangad ang pag-unlad at kalayaan

I don't know why I love you
I don't know why I love you
I don't know why I love you
I don't know why I love you
I don't know why I love you
I don't know why I love you
I don't know why I love you
I don't know why I love you
