Simple Thoughts of Mine

Posts Tagged ‘lea salonga’

I learned to love the music of Broadway when our very own Lea Salonga joined Miss saigon in 1989. From then on I became a fan of Broadways and always wanted to see one. In the US, I knew that it’s being shown in Broadway, New York. Watching broadway shows there and staying in hotels in new york became my wildest dream

Okay leave it, it’s only a dream and it’s impossible to happen. Since many Filipinos can’t go to America or in London, Miss Saigon was brought here sometimes in the ’90s. I was able to watched the said musicale but unluckily it’s not my favorite Ms. Salonga who performed that night. But kudos to all the artists that night (Dec. 31), they did well and that fond memory still lingers in my heart and soul. Though there’s a lot of Broadway shows which were being shown here in the Philippines for the past years, I wasn’t able to watched one because my budget didn’t allow me. But I still hope to see one soon again.

A friend of mine requested me to post this. Since it is one of my favorite song too (I’m a fan of Lea Salonga)… This is for you Tina.

The Journey

by Lea Salonga

Half the world is sleeping
Half the worlds awake
Half can hear their hearts beat
Half just hear them break

I am but a travler
Been most everywhere
Ask me what you want to know

Chorus:
What a journey it has been
And the end is not in sight
But the stars are out tonight
And theyre bound to guide my way
When theyre shining on my life
I can see your better day
I wont let the darkness in
What a journey it has been

I have been to sorrow
I have been to bliss
Where Ill be tomorrow
I can only guess
Through the darkest desert
Through the deepest snow
Foward, always foward I go

(repeat chorus)

Bridge:
Foward, always foward
Onward, always up
Catching every drop of hope
In my empty cup

(repeat chorus)

What a journey it has been
