Unexpected Life

 

This is something I didn’t expect,

Suddenly everything has change,

Last time that I remember is I am standing in the pedestal,

But my life changes quickly,

This is something I didn’t expect,

I used to study in a university in manila,

But now I’m fixing my documents for work,

I used to walk on Espana boulevard,

But now I’m walking into establishments,

Looking for documents I need for work,

This is something I didn’t expect,

I thought that my world will collapse,

But this is the beginning of my adult life,

This is something that I didn’t expect,

I need to accept the reality,

Life can be long or short,

It can be easy or hard,

But this will be the beginning of your story,

This is not the end,

In fact that you should carry on,

Because life is full of unexpected events,

That’s why I’m still moving forward,

I don’t stop on daydreaming,

Praying to God,

That everything is going to be alright,

This something I didn’t expect,

This life full of mysteries,

Will change you and give you the right path,

The path of unexpected life.
