D-Em-Am-Cadd9-G chords were used. Hmm.. Parang medyo weird. :)) Ah well. I just went by ear and what felt right. :)) Rather... Sounded. Though... It doesn't sound quite right. :)) She will help me!!! Dibaaa Sheeee!! *wink wink*

The church in ABS-CBN is beautiful. I took the whole morning taking flight with myself. There's a lot of things on my mind, but mostly, I thought about the people around me, my faith and God. Light filtered through the stained-glass window behind the altar. No one was inside the church save myself, some bugs and birds that hastened to drop by. I exchanged a few words with the cross. I noticed spiderwebs on the corners underneath the well-used wooden benches.

Walking towards the office, I was gripped by a tune in my head. My phone was dead so I had no choice but to grab the guitar, rush off to the stock room and hope I could pick out the right chords to accompany my non-existent lyrics. Once there I took the advice of Marie Digby and let the words flow with the tune. Before, I used to create the words first before the melody (since I'm singing-tone-deaf and I didn't know how to play an instrument) and nothing ever came of it. Now, I found I was actually able to create not a poem or a melody, but a song. I was able to create the sound of my feelings and thoughts. It was an exquisite experience. Now I have two songs under my belt and it... invigorates me. The power to create has always moved my spirit.

Even when a couple of men emerged from the wall around me I remained unperturbed, muttering only a distracted "Hello Kuya," as I concentrated on my work. I wonder who they were. :)) And what they were doing inside the airvents. Ah. Maintenance people probably, I realize.

Here's what I've made so far:

I.

D Em
I took some time this morning
Getting to know myself
D Em C
It's been awhile, I've been afraid
D Em
I'm wary of myself.

G Em
It took a lot of thinking
Trying to name my fears last night (trying to tame my fears)
G Am
I've got to face myself this time
D Em
I'll find my way to light

Chorus: (I think?)

D Cadd9
I want you to know
D G
I've been wrong, but I'll be strong and whole for me

Cad99 D Am
This won't be the end of me

Em-Cadd9-Em-Cadd9

II.

Cadd9 Em C
I took some time alone at church
D Em
Talking to God alone
Em Am
I told him about the things I've done (up singing tone)
D Em
I can't make it on my own
