For seven years I've been in here
Seven years down in the hole, they said
"Your watch, your glasses, and your wedding ring
You won't need them anymore"
I felt abandoned--I felt cast aside
So where is God who never sleeps?
I heard a voice say, "Why do you [A7cry?"
Then I found my [A]inner peace
Ninoy, you [A7were my [A]first love
But you [A7said I was [Am7]too tall
The heart gets stɾonger and [Bm]grows colder
For the Rose of Tacloban
I begged to [C7]God, could he forgive me now
And take back all [Em]those things I said?
This moment was [Am7]a gift from above
Maybe [Am]it's some kind of test
Santo [C7]Niño, Santo [C7]Niño
Take good care of him
Santo [C7]Niño, Santo [C7]Niño
Take good care of him
Ninoy, ɾemember a long [Am]time ago
You used to [C7]walk me to [C7]my [A]home?
Who set you [A7free? Who built this hospital?
You think I hate you, but you're wrong
For seven years I wore this crucifix
A necklace that watched over me
Face to [C7]face with mortality
I let go of all [Em]my [A]fears
Now my [A]husband [Bm]he might hate you
But you [A7know I saved your life
Ninoy, don't be [Am]a hero
I beg you, don't get on [C7]that flight
Santo [C7]Niño, Santo [C7]Niño
Take good care of him
Santo [C7]Niño, Santo [C7]Niño
Take good care of him
Santo [C7]Niño, Santo [C7]Niño
Take good care of him
Santo [C7]Niño, Santo [C7]Niño
Take good care of him
