Shera

The nights are long beneath a sky without you

The ocean screams between your steps and mine

My heart beats hard like a war drum

Living in exile, prisoner of this land

I carve your name in iron and fire

Every mile makes me more dangerous

Distance bites, but it won’t kill hope

Your face keeps burning in the dark

I clench my fists, I stand my ground

Even alone, I walk toward us

SHERA!

Your name is screaming through my veins

SHERA!

Even hell knows your rage

SHERA!

Across the seas and the storms

I will return, I swear to you

Manila sleeps, I’m still awake

Your absence is my battlefield

But your love is a heavy weapon

That keeps me from falling, from going deaf

They say “forget”, they say “move on”

They don’t know this kind of violence

To love from far, to love this hard

Is surviving every sunrise

If the world collapses between us

I’ll dig through the earth with bare hands

Even broken, even on my knees

I’ll reach you, no matter the cost

SHERA!

Carved in my soul, burning bright

SHERA!

My light in the middle of the sky

SHERA!

Distance or damnation

You are my only religion

When the planes tear through the sky

When my feet touch your land

That day, silence will fall

And I will never be far from you again
