I lie awake in my bed now

Thinking of something somehow

It's kinda gloomy this morning

Because of the snow last night



I lie awake in my front porch

Looking at Liberty's torch

Why was I here in the first place

In this place where I don't belong?



Three stars to guide my way

And the sun to light the day

All of these make me realize

That I just wanna go back into the Pearl of the Orient Seas



I lie awake in my bathtub

Thinking that my mother's hum

Is better than any American song

I think I wanna return to where I belong



Kiss under mistletoes

And winds blowing when it snows

All these things mean nothing to me

'Cause I just wanna go back into the Pearl of the Orient Seas



Dreams are made of five entities

Three stars, the sun and me



I lie awake by the bedside

Thinking it's gonna be alright

Well, I was never right and I've always been wrong

And I just wanna go back to where I belong



Peace all across the land

From a kiss on grandmother's hand

All I want is to be with these

So I just wanna go back into the Pearl of the Orient



Seas span so many miles

But seas cannot ever hide

All my love for the Philippines

So I just wanna go back into the Pearl of the Orient

I just wanna go back into where it's at

I just wanna go back into the Pearl of the Orient Seas
