Kaleidoscope World
by: Francis Magalona
So many faces, so many races
Different voices, different choices
Some are mad, while others laugh
Some live alone with no better half
Others grieve while others curse
And others mourn behind a big black hearse
Some are pure and some half-bred
Some are sober and some are wasted
Some are rich because of fate and
Some are poor with no food on their plate
Some stand out while others blend
Some are fat and stout while some are thin
Some are friends and some are foes
Some have some while some have most
Every color and every hue
Is represented by me and you
Take a slide in the slope
Take a look in the kaleidoscope
Spinnin' round, make it twirl
In this kaleidoscope world
Some are great and some are few
Others lie while some tell the truth
Some say poems and some do sing
Others sing through their guitar strings
Some know it all while some act dumb
Let the bassline strum to the bang of the drum
Some can swim while some will sink
And some will find their minds and think
Others walk while others run
You can't talk peace and have a gun
Some are hurt and start to cry
Don't ask me how don't ask me why
Some are friends and some are foes
Some have some while some have most
Every color and every hue
Is represented by me and you
Take a slide in the slope
Take a look in the kaleidoscope
Spinnin' round, make it twirl
In this kaleidoscope world
* Francis Magalona just died on 6th day of March, 2009. He is one of those who suffer from Cancer and everybody was surprise when they knew that their very own Francis Magalona did not survive of his condition.The lyrics above is one of the songs he composed. He is one of the good singers and composers in our country. The message of the song tell us that we may have differences, we are all equal. We may have different perceptions and businesses in our lives. We may have different personalities but we can jive and be as one and together live peacefully. We just have to learn to accept one another for what he is, just what the song goes, "Every color and every hue, is represented by ME and YOU"..=) *
