Exposed

"Exposed"

Written by Redner Erald Salonga
Arranged and composed by Redner Erald Salonga, Val Clemente, Dan Clavio and Per Clemente

This is what I have to say…
Will you please listen and stay?

I want to let you in
But, it’s hard to do
I’ve been hurt before
Time’s passing through
I’ve held it in
Time to let it out
Now, all my thoughts keep pouring out

I’m opening up to you
Exposing all, I’ve been through
No more, hiding away
It’s all coming out today
I know, I’ll be okay

I was afraid
So, long ago
Thank God, I found
Where to go
Do you understand?
To live in fear
Like I have
For all those years

I felt let down
So many times
Like, no one
Didn’t mine
I felt alone
And on my own
But, I never let it show

This is all I had to say
Finally, exposed today.

Joy

"Joy"

Written by Redner Erald Salonga
Arranged and composed by Redner Erald Salonga, Val Clemente, Dan Clavio and Per Clemente

Is it over now?
This is something they say
But, in the darkest nights
I can still find my way
I see clearer now than ever before
Cause you opened my eyes and opened these doors

But, when the storms come and the clouds appear
Just a simple prayer and they all disappear
Then, the joy comes like the shining sun
It’s not my will, but yours that is done

I feel you
This is something so real
No more worries
No, nothing to fear
For you’re here now
And with you, I’ll stay
Cause your always in my heart
Through it all, day by day

Oh, the sunshine is bright on my life
Got rid of this pain and all of this strife
Just called you here and you drew me near
Now, I’m living for you

Renewed

"Renewed"

Written by Redner Erald Salonga
Arranged and composed by Redner Erald Salonga, Val Clemente, Dan Clavio and Per Clemente

Everything changes
Things just need to move on
Winter to Summer
Spring into the Fall

And our time is fading fast
How to make each memory last
And the tears that I have cried
Will soon turn to dust

You’re the only one
Who can stop the rain from falling down
Who can overcome
All the things found in this broken heart
Come and take me as I am
Fill my empty life
Let me begin, anew
This is the season
To start my life
Renewed

I was burdened
Needed to find the way
Went down that road
So, lost and astray
Now, the time is ending soon
How to live my life for you
And the pain so deep inside
Please all go away

Renew me
From the inside out
Consume me
Show me what you’re about
I’m desperate
I need you now
Lord, I know

Escape

"Escape"

Written by Redner Erald Salonga
Arranged and composed by Redner Erald Salonga, Val Clemente, Dan Clavio and Per Clemente

I just want to be alone
Sick of sitting on the throne
Stop staring at me
Stop blaming what you see
Living isn’t easy

Lord, hide me away
Escape me to your secret place
Where I feel safe
And all my cares just seem to fade
Please take me there
Just take me

And there are some days
Where you want to runaway
But you have no place to go
No one even knows
Living isn’t easy

This is your secret place
I’m here, just you and me
Into the light of love
Where I can be so free
Just hold me close to you
Make me feel brand new
I need you here with me
Cause with you, I’m complete

You Deserve This!

"You Deserve This!"

Written by Redner Erald Salonga
Arranged and composed by Redner Erald Salonga, Val Clemente, Dan Clavio and Per Clemente

Lies, hurt, pain
It’s driving me insane
These thoughts in my mind
Over and over
It’s creeping back in
All my past sin
I’m letting you go
But, these voices saying no

I’m burning your words
I’m taking you down
You’re going to fall to the ground
Have no peace
Have no rest
You deserve this!

You think you’re so cool
You think you’re so right
I don’t give up, never and ever
So, try me again
You’ll never be a friend
I’m cutting your ties
Enough of the pain, hurt, lies

Each and everyday
You try to get your way
You never will, never and ever
I’ve found someone better
Who’s with me forever
But, you will never
So, goodbye and whatever

Burn, burn, burn
Your words will burn
It’s not my time
But, now’s you’re turn
Fall, fall, fall
To the ground
Don’t want to hear you now
I won’t go down
I will not cry
Enough of lies

The Girl in the Mirror

"The Girl in the Mirror"

Written by Redner Erald Salonga
Arranged and composed by Redner Erald Salonga, Val Clemente, Dan Clavio and Per Clemente

Look in the mirror
What do you see?
Stop complaining
Why so unhappy?

You never thought of anyone but yourself
You said I was the one who needed the help
But now I see…
How it’s supposed to be

The girl in the mirror was so insecure
Didn’t know how to love
So, just loved herself more
I gave her my heart and everything I had
Now, all that’s left of her is just broken glass


Stuck on her image
I didn’t see
Love was blind
It happened to me

She’s all around
I see her faces
She haunts my mind
But, I can’t escape her
She wants me now
And, I won’t take her
She’s looking back
She’s in the mirror

Superficiality

"Superficiality"

Written by Redner Erald Salonga
Arranged and composed by Redner Erald Salonga, Val Clemente, Dan Clavio and Per Clemente

There you go talking
Whispers in their ears
Again and again
That’s what you like to hear
Your words spread like life
That’s your inner desire
To fuel on the flames
But, you know it hurts deeper
When you hear it from people
From the outside looking in

So it goes, there you go

Enough of this show
I’m not one to judge or to hold a grudge
I’ve just really had enough of the picture perfect act
Hypocrisy is a sin but, you’ll just smile within
So broken deep inside
Who are you?
You decide

There you go smiling
Gleaming in my face
Laughing and laughing
Wish I could erase
But, you keep on letting
There you go telling every detail
My life’s a new story
Why give me the glory?
Are you that bored?

Superficiality
Enough of that with me
Let’s talk reality
Face to face with me
I’d prefer the truth you know
Not this pretending show
I don’t need actors, no
I get that on TV, so

Mistaken

"Mistaken"

Written by Redner Erald Salonga
Arranged and composed by Redner Erald Salonga, Val Clemente, Dan Clavio and Per Clemente

You better watch out
You better not cry
I’ve found out the truth
So, don’t even lie

I know, I’ve been mistaken before
I loved you but, not anymore
So, take my hand
Cause, I’m walking you right out that door

Leave
Never come back again
Broken promises became your other best friend
And, if I have to pass you by
I’ll just say to myself, oh why
What a mistake
Goodbye

You tried me once
You got me twice
I’ve learned love may come with a price

You played me like a violin
Betrayal for you was the sweetest sin
I never thought you would do this to me
But, now my eyes can finally see

Goodbye

"Goodbye"

written by Redner Erald Salonga
Arranged and composed by Redner Erald Salonga, Val Clemente, Dan Clavio and Per Clemente

The road is ending soon
But, I don’t know where you’re going
And I don’t know what to do
These days have gone so fast

Lord, I felt it just had started
But, our ways seem to have parted

Sometimes, I wonder why
We have to say goodbye
I know there is an answer
Got to search through the disaster
They say the days go by
Something here is changing
Is it life rearranging?

Goodbye is the hardest word to say
I need you
Please don’t go away
But I understand, it’s time to go
But my questions still lingers, so
Just need to know

Just sit with me, don’t cry
The tears and the laughter
The dreams, we all chased after
Yesterday is now gone

Just need to know
Where you have to go
The world is so cold
Don’t go alone
But, it’s known
Time to try it on our own

Slow Down

"Slow Down"

Written by Redner Erald Salonga
Arranged and composed by Redner Erald Salonga, Val Clemente, Dan Clavio and Per Clemente

Slow down
This is going to fast for me
Slow down
I just need space to breathe
But, time’s here now
What do we do?
I’ve waited all my life, just for you

And I want to know, this is something real
Not just a longing, I want to feel
Is this a feeling that will fade today?
If it’s true, maybe you’ll stay
After these thoughts, just clear away

Slow down
Let us see face to face
Slow down
Please move my pace
We’re here now
And, it’s up to you
So tell me what do you want to do?
Clear away, oh my dear
Hear my words in your ear
Find your way back to me
Somehow, someway, maybe someday

Clear away, oh my dear
Hear my words in you ear
Find your way back to me
Somehow, someway
Maybe someday

Slow down

Snapshots

"Snapshots"

Written by Redner Erald Salonga
Arranged and composed by Redner Erald Salonga, Val Clemente, Dan Clavio and Per Clemente

I took your picture
Then, I hung it up
And, when I’m sad
I just look up
Cause I know you’re there for me
Whatever it may be

I met you just two years ago
I didn’t know love could blossom so
Just yesterday
You said hello to me
Now look at you and me

Snapshots of our memories
Of those times just you and me
More to come, I hope to see
Love and your loyalty to me

Oh baby yes, you are so far
And how I wish I could drive that far
Cruising in my silver car
Just to be, where you are

I took your hand into mine
When I was scared of that movie, right?
I look down, when I’m afraid
But with you, I’ll be brave

Together, we will be
I love you and you love me
Hold my hand and stay close to me
Love and loyalty
