Mabuhay nang tahimik
ilagay ang pag-i-isip
sa mapayapang kapaligiran
huwag mong hayaan
ang lungkot at lumbay
maging dahilan at magbigay
ng madilim na pananaw.
Ang 'yong diwa sana'y malaya
at bigyan halaga
ang 'yong katangi-an
kapani-paniwalang tunay
tantu-in mong ma-igi
walang nakala-an kapantay
yakapin mo ang kagandahan
dama-in ang biyayang ginintuan.
Sa ugat ng 'yong katauhan
ay dumadaloy ang kabutihan
huwag mo sanang ipag-kait
na madama kahit kaunti lamang
ang umi-iral na dalamhati
ipagpalagay mong panandalian
baya-an humayo at limutin
sa bugso ng hangin, malagwin.
Labis na 'yong pagpapasakit
bigyan mo naman ang 'yong sarili
ng nararapat na katumbas
huminga ng sariwang hangin-dagat
bigyan lakas ang pagod
mong mga kamay, maidlip sandali
ang mga matang tuyot sa luha
malimutan mong sandali ang hirap
ang walang-awang hagupit
ng masamang dagsa ng buhay.
Hush now my sweet Sister
'God saw a tired man
the cure was not to be
He put His arm on his shoulder
and whispered,'come with me'... '
It is God will, you must know
'tho we don't want him to go
He is the ultimate, He decides
if it is time that existence will index
return borrowed life and no one
can resist, everyone obeys.
You are not alone
we, your family
are always with you
we share your sadness
we can carry some of your load
clear the air for you to breath
so you can move on
you can start fresh...

Her soul partner, her best friend
her shield, her anchor
her everyday companion
to talk to, to laugh with
everything, they do together
decision making, together
i am here at your side
this time of your bereavement
i feel how you feel
losing someone you love...
but cry no more Sister
i love you so much
my heart aches too
when i see you shed tears...
