As I left my house, as I walked out today Thought I walked out my marriage. Thought I walked out on grace As the dawn it was breaking at the end of the street I didn't know what would happen, didn't know what I'd see I saw two transit buses blocked the road on our side Saw a couple of joggers who chanced to run by Saw some soldiers come out and they mixed with the crowd Tears came to my eyes we’re just walking around Well, there’re so many people - Everybody is here! I saw the girls from the office. I saw those guys from the street You might think you are lost, but then you will find That god draws straight, but with crooked lines I saw a matron in white, her face lifted to heaven Saw nuns on their knees and some who were weeping Saw a middle-aged man and government clerk, an Afromestizo held his rosary up I saw nobody leave, I didn’t feel fear or terror It felt like a movie , like the end of an era Nobody got hurt and nobody died I’ll remember this day, I’ll remember this time And there’re so many people - Everybody is here! I saw the girls from the office. I saw those guys from the street You might think you are lost, but then you will find That god draws straight, but with crooked lines As I turned on my walkman, and all I could hear - every station was Marcos, he’s on every TV An appliance store window he fills every screen, then the TVs went blank and his face disappeared Then the darkness it thickened, There was no time for choices Letras de cancionesHalf blind I ran, I was guided by voices When the choppers took off leaving Malacañang … We knew it was over knew it was the end And there’re so many people - Everybody is here! I saw the girls from the office. The whole country it seems. You might think you are lost, but then you will find That god draws straight, but with crooked lines Yea, god draws straight, but with crooked lines (Thanks to Mark for these lyrics) From Letras Mania
