Obed dela Cruz - Love In Disguise

You came in the form of a storm.
You washed away those huge houses
And have let mud enter this place.

For weeks, pure water was a need.
It’s not the time to waste food.
There’s no time to crack a bad joke.

But while I was thinking of you
And the things you’ve brought to this land
I knew that you’re love in disguise.

For so many years, we’re hardened.
It’s not wise to trust each other
But you’ve let us see that we care.

In that perilous hour
We gave our hands to the needy
And our resources to the poor.

Love, please stay and never leave us.
Let not death be the solution
Just to make us love each other.

I ask that you will grow in us.
Let us choose you instead of death
But I thank you for making us care.
