Unanswered Prayers

(There's no way I would ever miss this song for the world. For all I care, this song happens to be very special and close to my heart, as it was specifically written for me to sing to my one and only and to my two little angels. January 5, 2005, this song became me. I've been married to it... just to let you know, hahaha!) - MEO MAS

Jose Feliciano, aw, I mean, Fr. Jose Roel Lungay (or FRO) fooling around with my music hahaha... he wanted to sing this song badly but just couldn't get our hands to recording it for him this past summer. Anyway, we call this "The Art of Lip Synch."


UNANSWERED PRAYERS

Words by J. Roel Lungay

Music by Romeo Mascariñas

1
Last night I woke up in the middle of the night,
Thought of things that meant so much
for me and my wife -
Children, school and house, livelihood and life.
I can’t stop thanking God for these
Unanswered prayers.

2
When I was young my dreams were
diff’rent from what I have now.
I took a lot for granted, never cared so much;
Dreaming far away, I could never stay.
But now, I’m thankful, God,
For these unanswered prayers.

Refrain:
[You/they] are the answer to my unanswered prayers.
I swear to God [you/they] are my unanswered prayers;
I may not have known
Coz I was so young and alone
But now I realize you are the answer
To my very prayers.

3
Funny but it seems like God had made plans all along;
Took a lot of twists and turns, had to let go of my own;
Funny it may seem, you know, how lucky have I been
Now I have you all beside me - my unanswered prayers.

Bridge:
God, I can’t thank enough, you're Lord of my life.
Coz I owe you so much, I fall down on my knees;
I couldn’t bear the thought of it
had you answered all my dreams -
I wouldn’t have my wife and kids -
Your very answer to my unanswered prayers.

(Interlude)

(Repeat Refrain except last 2 lines)

Coda:
But now I realize you are the answer
to my very prayers.
