Star and Slave |
| Last night, I had a dream |
| That I was back in Leyte |
| I dreamed I was barely alive |
| But I could still see |
| Then a woman in white |
| Approached my bed |
| This Egyptian queen |
| She could raise the dead |
| And a crowd of people |
| They were praying in there for me |
| And this crowd of people |
| They were singing their songs for me |
| And I can feel it now |
| Their faith and affection |
| Feel that I, I’m |
| Their Pygmalion now |
| I sit up in the dream I rise |
| And I, I come back |
| To the river of life |
| Now I rejoin the river of life |
| Now my personal life |
| That old life is over |
| And I’ll serve my country |
| For the rest of my days |
| And I, oh I thank god |
| We know how to make money |
| Now I, I am the people’s |
| Star, star and slave |
| Now it’s because of you |
| That happiness lives here |
| And I’ll give you my love |
| Now it’s my turn to say |
| That if, if it is true |
| That you shall enslave me |
| Well it’s because of you |
| Nothing can stand in my way |
| Let me be |
| Your star and slave |
| And my personal life |
| Well let them take it away |
| I can’t be hurt anymore |
| By those things that they say |
| Let it come, let it come |
| Let it come what may |
| Let me be |
| Your star |
| Star and slave |
