Lyrics
(Verse 1)
Kada hakbang sa lupa’y para akong inaalon
at nalulunod sa batikos ng mundo,
sa kung ano lamang ang kaya ko.
Pigang-piga na sa mga problemang ‘di masolusyonan agad.
Parang wala ng bukas,
pwede bang umiwas?
Hinahanap ang sarili ngunit ‘di na kakayanin sa ligaw na dinadaanan ko.
‘San na ‘to patungo?
‘San na ‘ko patungo?
(CHORUS)
Dahan-dahan nating simulan muli ang pag-hakbang.
Dahan-dahang tumingin sa salamin upang makita ang ating kagandahan.
Dahan-dahang iangat ang mukha upang masilayan ang payapang kalangitan.
Oo, pagod ka na.
Pero ‘di ka nag-iisa.
Kaya’t lumaban ka.
At sabihing,
“Ako naman muna”.
(Verse 2)
Kada langhap sa hangin pansin ko na lagi nalang usok.
Walang malinis halos puro polusyon,
parang ako raw na konsumisyon.
Gulong-gulo ang isip ‘san ba lulugar kapag nag-kamali.
Grabe sila manghusga,
bakit perpekto ba sila?
Huminga ka ng malalim at isipin ng mabuti
ang mga desisyong ilalaan para sa kinabukasan.
Nang makapunta sa
paroroonan.. Kung
(CHORUS)
Dahan-dahan nating simulan muli ang pag-hakbang.
Dahan-dahang tumingin sa salamin upang makita ang ating kagandahan.
Dahan-dahang iangat ang mukha upang masilayan ang payapang kalangitan.
Oo, pagod ka na.
Pero ‘di ka nag-iisa.
Kaya’t lumaban ka.
At sabihing,
“Ako naman muna”.
(Bridge)
Huwag papalamon sa lungkot,
huwag hahayaang malugmok
ang puso mo sa ibabato sa’yo ng iba.
Tandaan mong sapat ka…
Dahan-dahang tanggalin ang maskara at hayaang tumulo ang bumabadyang mga luha.
Dahan-dahang iangat ang mukha upang masilayan ang mga taong ika’y pinapahalagahan.
Oo, pagod ka na.
Pero ‘di ka nag-iisa.
Kaya’t lumaban ka.
At sabihing,
“Ako naman muna”.
English Version
Verse 1:
Feels like I’m drowning in an ocean
With nothing but my silence
Another crisis I don’t
Think they care about
Is there a reason for where I am now?
Verse 2:
All my ghosts are
Taking turns to play
Another round of haunt and seek
I don’t know when all this will end
Just wanna hideaway
Pre-chorus 1:
Broken pieces in my puzzle
What a lonely little bubble
Slowly falling to some other world
Where do I go from here?
Where do I go from here?
Chorus:
Take a minute to just think
About everything you see
Take a minute let it wash away
Remember that you are
Everything you need
Take a minute to stare
At the lights in this lovely life
A future waiting in sight
I know you’ve had enough
But tomorrow’s far from done
So just stay awhile
And sing out loud, “Ako Naman Muna”
Verse 3:
Feels like I’m floating in the middle
Of all their foolish phases
Another moment where their
Smoke fills up my lungs
Afraid that I’ll never deserve their love
Verse 4:
I’m a mess that’s sinking
Where could I go
For some relief?
They always cast me out
All sinners playing saints
Pre-chorus:
Need a second to just breathe in
Figure out what I believe in
Who I am and what I am not
Promise the sun will shine again
Say you’ll be here until then
Chorus:
Take a minute to just think
About everything you see
Take a minute let it wash away
Remember that you are
Everything you need
Take a minute to stare
At the lights in this lovely life
A future waiting in sight
I know you’ve had enough
But tomorrow’s far from done
So just stay awhile
And sing out loud, “Ako Naman Muna”
Bridge:
Ako Naman Muna
So feel the storm inside your soul
And when it settles let it go
Your heavy heart is saying
You will never have to be alone
You are worth more than you know
Chorus:
Let your walls come caving in
Won’t break your skin
The rain is coming home
It’s time to let your tears flow
Let your heart look to the sky
There’s your reason why
It’s all coming clear
All the people who matter the most
I know you’ve have enough
But your journey’s far from done
So just hold my hand
And sing out loud, “Ako Naman Muna”
Ako Naman Muna
