WAIT IN VAIN Lyrics

(OPM Band)

I don’t wanna wait in vain for your love
I don’t wanna wait in vain for your love
From the very first time i rest my eyes on you, girl
My heart says follow through
But i know, now, that i’m way down on your line
But the waitin’ feel is fine
So don’t treat me like a puppet on a string
’cause i know i have to do my thing
Don’t talk to me as if you think i’m dumb
I wanna know when you’re gonna come soon
I don’t wanna wait in vain for your love
I don’t wanna wait in vain for your love
I don’t wanna wait in vain for your love
’cause if summer is here
I’m still waiting there
Winter is here
And i’m still waiting there
Ad lib
Like i said
It’s been three years since i’m knockin’ on your door
And i still can knock some more
Ooh girl, ooh girl, is it feasible
I wanna know now, for i to knock some more
Ya see, in life i know there’s lots of grief
But your love is my relief
Tears in my eyes burn, tears in my eyes burn
While i’m waiting, while i’m waiting for my turn
See!

I don’t wanna wait in vain for your love
I don’t wanna wait in vain for your love
I don’t wanna wait in vain for your love
I don’t wanna wait in vain for your love
I don’t wanna wait in vain for your love, oh
I don’t wanna, i don’t wanna, i don’t wanna, i don’t wanna
I don’t wanna wait in vain
I don’t wanna, i don’t wanna, i don’t wanna, i don’t wanna
I don’t wanna wait in vain
No, i don’t wanna
(i don’t wanna, i don’t wanna, i don’t wanna, i don’t wanna
I don’t wanna wait in vain)
No i, no i
(i don’t wanna, i don’t wanna, i don’t wanna, i don’t wanna
I don’t wanna wait in vain)
No, no, no, i, no, i
(i don’t wanna, i don’t wanna, i don’t wanna, i don’t wanna
I don’t wanna wait in vain)
It’s your love that i’m waiting on
(i don’t wanna, i don’t wanna, i don’t wanna, i don’t wanna
I don’t wanna wait in vain)
It’s me love that you’re running from
It’s jah love that i’m waiting on
(i don’t wanna, i don’t wanna, i don’t wanna, i don’t wanna
I don’t wanna wait in vain)
It’s me love that you’re running from

TRUTH Lyrics

(OPM Band)

Can’t believe how you set me free
The way you purify this soul don’t you know
Got you into my arms now i’m never letting go
This old dog is finally home…finally home…so!

Chorus:

Ohh, tell me what you want
I’ll pay the price
What’s money i’ll roll the dice
Lose it all take the fall
Let it ride
As long as i have you at my side
(repeat 2x)

Friend or foe you come to me
Wasn’t sure how deep a hole i was getting into
Yet i choose to wake up every mornin with a smile of my face
Or see life for what it is one big fat race…go!
(repeat chorus)

*chorus:

I’ve played the fool
Thinking i can catch you off guard and score another night with you
But the tables have been turned
This boy’s about to get burned
But before i go, i gotta know – i gotta know

Let’s not forget
You kept me waiting
What can i do to get through to you
Tired of singin to myself
I need a lesson
I need a blessing
The shoe fits all we need is a little glue
I hate what you do

Ohh, tell me what you want
Ohh, tell me what you want
Ohh, tell me what you want
Ohh, tell me what you want…fuck you…
(repeat chorus)

Ohh… it’s been so good since i last saw you… ohh… child…
Ohh… it’s been so good since i last saw you… ohh..

THE GENERAL Lyrics

(OPM Band)

Verse 1:
There was a decorated general with a heart of gold
That likened him to all the stories he told
Of past battles won and lost and legends of old
A seasoned veteran in his own time

On the battlefield, he gained respectful fame
With many medals of bravery and stripes to his name
He grew a beard as soon as he could to cover the scars on his face
And bravely urged his men on

But on the eve of a great battle, with the infantry in dream
The old general tossed in his sleep and wrestled with its meaning
He awoke from the night to tell what he had seen
And walked slowly out of his tent

All the men held tall with their chests in the air
With a courage in their blood and a fire in their stare
It was a gray morning and they wondered how they would fare
’til the old general told them to go home

He said

Bridge:
I have seen the others, and i have discovered
That this fight is not worth fighting
And i’ve seen their mothers, and i will no other
To follow me where i’m going
So,

Chorus:
Take a shower and shine your shoes
You got no time to lose, you’re a young man you must be living
Take a shower and shine your shoes
You got no time to lose, you’re a young man you must be living
Go now, you are forgiven

Verse 2:
But the men stood fast with their guns on their shoulders
Not knowing what to do with the contradicting orders
The general said he would do his own duty, but he would extend it no further
The men could go as they pleased

But not a man moved, their eyes gazed straight ahead
’til one by one they stepped back and not a word was said
And the old general was left with his own words echoing in his head
He then prepared to fight

He said

Bridge:
I have seen the others, and i have discovered
That this fight is not worth fighting
And i’ve seen their mothers, and i will no other
To follow me where i’m going
So,

Chorus:
Take a shower and shine your shoes
You got no time to lose, you’re a young man you must be living
Take a shower and shine your shoes
You got no time to lose, you’re a young man you must be living
Go now, you are forgiven

Bridge 2:
Go now you are forgiven
Go now you are forgiven
Go now you are forgiven
Go
Go now you are forgiven
Go now you are forgiven
Go now you are forgiven
Go
Go now you are forgiven
Go now you are forgiven
Go now you got to be, got to be, got to be, got to be, got to be
Yeah

PEACE MAN Lyrics

(OPM Band) 

I have words to say to you my friend
Is it hard to know what’s right from wrong
Have you ever your life so self assured
You don’t know the things that you’ve done wrong

And then we’ll say
We’ll rip out our covers
Shake the walls until they break
I’ll hold out my hand to you
Supreme love and respect
Peace man

At first it seems so daunting
How to start or how to grow
But make believe becomes a living
Cuz in life you will now

Peace man

NOYPI Lyrics

(OPM Band) 

Tingnan mo iyong palad
Kalyado mong kamay sa hirap ng buhay
Ang dami mong problema, nakuha mo pang ngumiti
Noypi ka nga, astig
REFRAIN 1
Saan ka man naroroon ‘wag kang matatakot
Sa baril o patalim, sa bakas na madilim
CHORUS
Hoy, Pinoy ako
Buo aking loob
May agimat ang dugo ko
Hoy, oh, Pinoy ako
May agimat ang dugo ko
Sinisid ko ang dagat, nalibot ko ang mundo
Nasa puso ko pala hinahanap kong pulo
Ilang beses na akong muntikang mamatay
Oh, alam ko ang sikreto kaya’t nandito pa’t buhay
REFRAIN 2
Oh, sabi nila may anting-anting ako
Pero ‘di nila alam na ang Diyos ang dahilan ko
[Repeat CHORUS]
Hoh hoh hoo hoh
Hoh hoh hoo hoh
AD LIB
Dinig mo ba ang bulong ng lahi mo
Isigaw mo, kapatid, ang himig natin
[Repeat CHORUS]
Hoh hoh hoo hoh
Hoh hoh hoo hoh

MUCH HAS BEEN SAID Lyrics

(OPM band)
Much has been said
Said you’d never leave
Why’d it have to be
Harder than it had to be
Now don’t you throw the blame
You were part of this
Wasn’t supposed to end
With us just walking away
So many times we tried
Holding on to the pain
But in my baby’s eyes i see my shame
Asking why you had to leave
Wasn’t i strong enough
To make you see
That the biggest part of this
It’s not about you or me
But just been wrong
If we held on

So maybe tomorrow we’ll find
A taste for the old days
Hard lessons we’ve left behind
This mirror’s an open door
I can barely stand to see myself
I don’t know what to do anymore
I’m crying out for help

Ooh lord
Ooh lord

Much has been said
Well i never learned
Keeping my fingers crossed
Praying for my luck to turn
But i can’t complain
I’m living it easy
Job’s keeping me busy i’m going crazy
Can’t describe the way it felt
When you left said you goodbyes
It just seems crazy for me to think
That i found love the same time
But we all know how it all wraps up in the end

So maybe tomorrow we’ll find
A taste for the old days
Hard lessons we’ve left behind
This mirror’s an open door
I can barely stand to see myself
I don’t know what to do anymore
I’m crying out for help

Ooh lord
Ooh lord
Ooh lord
Ummm…

What am i leaving behind
Sweet how we see the big picture
When your life’s not on the line
I know the way out but do you see what i see
A tortured life always second guessing the bookie
Put money on the table thought that was all i had to do
Never came home never said a word to you
No one ever said it was going to be easy easy yeah
Start over again this time this time let’s do it right
Start over again but this time this time let’s keep the fires burning burning yeah
Start over again start over again but this time this time let’s do it right sweet child
Start over again start over again but this time this time let’s keep the fires burning burning yeah
You say i only hear what i want to no, no, no, no
You say i talk so all the time
I talk so all the time

MR. CLAY Lyrics

(OPM Band)

Red sun dawn
Guns are drawn
Skull and bones
Beast of war
Father help me stop this
Rush of blood to the head
Look at you I see red
Start this game
I’ll end it

By this hate that you help the world create
I’ve been sent, now repent
I’m the war that comes to you
The plague that follows through

CHORUS
All by myself, I know that I stand here alone
All your lies they feed me
I’m stronger now, stronger now than I was before
There’s no way you can hurt me
Move me
Stop me

Talk too much mutherfucker hush
You had your chance to change things
Move in the direction of right
Choose to set the bar
But then you had to pick a fight
So what’s daddy done for you lately?
Brought you the throne
Like stealing candy from a baby
Line your pockets in mucho dinero
Paid in full with the blood of the people

So now you got the fires rockin’, blood and hate
Then you got the people talking legacy
You will never be forgotten
Your place in history
A black mark in time, a black mark in time

[Repeat CHORUS]

AD LIB

Peace and flowers
Will kill the superpower
The fall of Rome is near
Can’t you hear
It’s been written, it’s been said
The revelations I had read
The signs are here
Those days are over
Walk away from the line
For now is the time

[Repeat CHORUS]

MASAYA Lyrics

(OPM Band) 

Ako’y malungkot na naman
Amoy chico na ako
Ilang tagay na, hindi pa rin tulog
Tanong ko lang sa langit
Kung bakit pumangit
Ang dating masaya
Ngayo’y panay problema
Bumabalot sa mundo
Bakit ganito…
CHORUS 1
Ang pag-ibig, ganyan talaga
‘Pag bago pa ang pag-ibig
Ganyan talaga, masaya
Pagkagising ko
Nakita ko si Juan
Na siyang adik sa aming lugar
Parang droga daw ang bisa
Na ginamit nya kanina
Sa una lang daw masarap
CHORUS 2
Ang pag-ibig, ganyan talaga
Ako’y nilamon ng pag-ibig
Ganyan talaga, masaya
[Repeat]

LIGHT YEARS Lyrics

(OPM Band) 

Hello, goodbye
Leave me alone
Don’t wanna be with anyone
Lie awake in bed
My eyes are closed
I bet you think I’m wasted
Hit me if you think it’s worth it
If you think I’ve crossed the line
I’ll see you somewhere out there
I know you think I’m crazy
Or a schizo maybe
Or a drug fiend addict
But I know what’s real
I know you faked it
‘Cause lies are what we have in your world
Read all the books of life
Looked at myself
Where did the years go
They’re lost within the pages of time
If you think I’ve crossed the line
I’ll see you somewhere out there
Something about it makes me
Something about it takes me
Something about you makes me high
So high
Me and my folk guitar
We’ve seen a glimpse of the wild world
It’s beautiful, it’s crazy
A lot of people that we know
They talk about us
They say we’ve lost it
They’re too far away from Venus, I say
If you think I’ve crossed the line
I’ll see you somewhere out there
‘Cause light years from now
They’ll find it somehow
‘Cause it’s beautiful out there

I – YOU Lyrics

(OPM Band) 

Pain
Leads to freedom
It’s everyone’s opinion not my own
Fame
Crystal kingdom
It’s everybody’s mission not my own

Not too youn
Not that old
Neither bitter
Neither cold

Just an optimist
Who’s become a little cynical
Under gloom
Don’t be afraid
Love is stronger than it all
Stronger than this soul divided

All those years i never really knew what love is
Till i found you..found you

This new faith where the altar is the bed
Where the church feels like a motel room
Where gold turns to lead
Hello
Do you belive
Love is stronger than us all
Stronger than two worlds colliding

I-you burn like fire from below sears the flesh feeds the souls desire
I-you stronger than before rising through the dust like a phoenix
