A Thousand Steps to Mt. Pulag

The first day i set foot on mt. pulag
was the day i stopped talking to you
because you had no words for me
it was the day i walked a thousand steps
away from that lonely crossroad where u left me
that day, i stood at the top of the world
yet, i was at my lowest point because i was alone
but that same day i set foot on mt. pulag
was also the day i saw the sunrise of the next morning
warm rays of freedom against the cold wind
and i fell in love with its promise of calmness
that day, i walked back a thousand steps
and saw the same things differently
