My Own Design

[Verse 1]
The pavement glows, a quiet, burnished gold,
And in my ears, this melody starts to unfold.
Each golden leaf, a whispered, fragile chime,
Marking the turning of a hopeful time,
A gentle rhythm, easing every stride.

[Chorus]
Oh, this resilient thread, it guides me home,
A tapestry of choices, I'm not alone.
My own design, humming soft and low,
Watching the city glow.

[Verse 2]
The old street signs, they whisper names I know,
Through changing light, where Manila breezes blow.
This path I choose, not always clear or bright,
But every step feels woven in the light,
A pattern forming, clear before my eyes.

[Chorus]
Oh, this resilient thread, it guides me home,
A tapestry of choices, I'm not alone.
My own design, humming soft and low,
Watching the city glow.

[Bridge]
No longer tangled, just a gentle sway,
Each strand connected, finding its own way.
A quiet strength, an anchor, deep inside,
With every sunset, nowhere left to hide.

[Outro]
My own design, beneath the fading sun,
A journey started, never truly done.
