KANLUNGAN Lyrics by Noel Cabangon

CHORUS
Pana-panahon ang pagkakataon
Maibabalik ba ang kahapon


Natatandaan mo pa ba
Nang tayong dal'wa'y unang nagkita
Panahon ng kamusmusan
Sa piling ng mga bulaklak at halaman
Doon tayo nagsimulang
Mangarap at tumula


Natatandaan mo pa ba
Inukit kong puso sa punong mangga
At ang inalay kong gumamela
Magkahawak-kamay sa dalampasigan
Malayang tulad ng mga ibon
Ang gunita ng ating kahapon


REFRAIN 1
Ang mga puno't halaman
Ay kabiyak ng ating gunita
Sa paglipas ng panahon
Bakit kailangan ding lumisan


[Repeat CHORUS]


Ngayon ikaw ay nagbalik
At tulad ko rin ang 'yong pananabik
Makita ang dating kanlungan
Tahanan ng ating tula at pangarap
Ngayon ay naglaho na
Saan hahanapin pa


REFRAIN 2
Lumilipas ang panahon
Kabiyak ng ating gunita
Ang mga puno't halaman
Bakit kailangang lumisan


[Repeat CHORUS]

Panginoon ko!!! Alam po ba ninyong 5 taon ko nang hinahanap itong kantang ito!!?? Thank You Lord Nakita ko't nalaman ko ding itong si Noel Cabangon pala ang kumanta nito! Very heartwarming song at hindi nakakasawang pakinggan + you can sing along to make you feel better.
