COUNTRY GIRL

Jose Antonio Cangco

I will live my life for you,
We will both share what is true,
You gave me sight, I shall write,
Please remain with me tonight;

Just now, I went down the road
Looking for the country code,
The city lights made me turn,
There are old ways I must unlearn.

I've grown tired of the city,
A place where I'll never be,
Having stayed there most of my
Life, I dream of the open sky;

Let us go and seek our ways,
To bring us more happy days,
A life away from it all,
Let us heed the stillness' call.
