Seven Years

Lyrics

[IMELDA] For seven years you've been in here Seven years down in the hole. They said "Your watch, your glasses and your wedding ring You won't need them anymore." [NINOY] What brings you here amongst us criminals? Have you not done enough to me? [IMELDA] I heard a voice say, "Go and help him now" So I have come to set you free Santo Niño, Santo Niño Take good care of him Santo Niño, Santo Niño Take good care of him [IMELDA] Ninoy, you were my first love But you said I was too tall The heart gets stronger and grows colder For the Rose of Tacloban But Ninoy, now, now I'm asking you To take back all those things you said You'll be safer in America And there are those who'd see you dead [NINOY] It's my country that I'm leaving I'll keep it with me it's never far You must know that I'm not guilty, you must know it in your heart [IMELDA] Ninoy, remember a long time ago You used to walk me to my home? Ninoy, don't be a hero Promise me you won't come back Santo Niño, Santo Niño Take good care of him Santo Niño, Santo Niño Take good care of him Santo Niño, Santo Niño Take good care of him
