Hearth and Tide

always morning, walang ingay sa California

Kape sa kamay,

watching the sky prevail

Dati, laging nagmamadali, laging may kaba But now the rhythm is different,

hindi na tulad ng una.

I reach for the peace that I finally found No more chasing

miles, my feet are on the ground.

Ito ang aking ritmo,

the hearth and the sky

A fire in my home,

and the freedom to fly.

Reach, catch, pull, recover—steady ang agos Ang pag-ibig sa sarili,

hindi na mauubos. Hearth and sky,

my fortress of peace Dito sa stillness,

I find my release.

(ooh) August 7 was a storm,

a sudden goodbye

Sabi mo I expected too much,

but that was a lie.

I blocked the poison,

I chose the quiet instead No more chaos inside of my head.

Parang dragon boat, sabay-sabay ang tibok Kahit pagod ang puso,

hindi ito lulubog.

I am my own beginning,

I am my own end

I don’t need a love that I have to constantly defend.

My heart isn’t closed,

it’s just taking a rest

Giving myself the four years to be at my best.

Hindi mali ang magmahal nang buo

Pero mali ang hayaang mawala ang sarili mo.

(ahhhh) Ito ang aking ritmo,

the hearth and the sky

A fire in my home,

and the freedom to fly.

Reach, catch, pull, recover—steady ang agos Ang pag-ibig sa sarili,

hindi na mauubos. Hearth and sky,

my fortress of peace Dito sa stillness,

I find my release.

(ooh) Korea is calling,

the paddles are ready Ang hawak sa buhay,

laging nang steady. Hearth and sky.

Laging ritmo. My always peace.
