For seven years I've been in here Seven years down in the hole, they said "Your watch, your glasses, and your wedding ring You won't need them anymore" I felt abandoned--I felt cast aside So where is God who never sleeps? I heard a voice say, "Why do you cry?" Then I found my inner peace Ninoy, you were my first love But you said I was too tall The heart gets stronger and grows colder For the Rose of Tacloban I begged to God, could he forgive me now And take back all those things I said? This moment was a gift from above Maybe it's some kind of test Santo Niño, Santo Niño Take good care of him Santo Niño, Santo Niño Take good care of him Ninoy, remember a long time ago You used to walk me to my home? Who set you free? Who built this hospital? You think I hate you, but you're wrong For seven years I wore this crucifix A necklace that watched over me Face to face with mortality I let go of all my fears Now my husband he might hate you But you know I saved your life Ninoy, don't be a hero I beg you, don't get on that flight Santo Niño, Santo Niño Take good care of him Santo Niño, Santo Niño Take good care of him Santo Niño, Santo Niño Take good care of him Santo Niño, Santo Niño Take good care of him
