KAGAWASAN

[INTRO – 8 BARS | REGGAE BASS GROOVE]

[Deep melodic bass guitar opens alone]
[Clean electric guitar enters with offbeat reggae skank]
[Keyboard Hammond organ bubble]
[Drums enter with one-drop reggae beat]
[Lead guitar plays a short melodic riff]

[VERSE 1 – LAID-BACK REGGAE GROOVE]

Sa kalibutan nga puno sa kasakit
Daghang tawo nag-antos sa kalisod
Ang uban naghilak, ang uban nag-away
Ang damgo sa tanan, kalinaw nga walay pagduhaduha

Ngano man nga kita nagbulag-bulag?
Tungod ba sa kwarta, gahum ug garbo?
Dili ba kitang tanan mga igsoon?
Nga nangandoy sa usa ka kaugmaon

[Lead guitar reggae fills between vocal lines]

[PRE-CHORUS – BUILD-UP]

Busa pagmata, ayaw pagpadala
Ayaw tugoti nga kita maguba
Ablihi ang mata, ablihi ang hunahuna
Ang kagawasan naa sa atong mga kamot

[Drums gradually build]
[Add stronger bass and distorted guitar accents]
[Short snare roll going into chorus]

[CHORUS – FULL BAND REGGAE ROCK EXPLOSION]

KAGAWASAN! Atong pangandoy
Kalinaw sa kalibutan, atong tinguha
Walay gubat, walay pagdumot
Gugma ug panaghiusa ang atong dalan

KAGAWASAN! Ipataas ang kamot
Ipalanog ang tingog sa tibuok kalibutan
Bisan unsa pa ang atong kahimtang
Kitang tanan adunay katungod nga molupad!

[Heavy kick and snare]
[Distorted rhythm guitar power chords]
[Backing vocals harmonize on KAGAWASAN!]

[POST-CHORUS – REGGAE GROOVE]

One Love! One Heart!
One Love! One Heart!

[Instrumental reggae guitar skank, bass groove and organ]

[VERSE 2 – RETURN TO ROOTS REGGAE]

Adunay pobre nga walay ikakaon
Adunay dato nga walay kaluoy
Adunay gahum nga naghari-hari
Ug ang katawhan nag-antos sa ilang binuhatan

Apan dili kita magpabiling hilom
Dili kita magpabiling ulipon
Ang hustisya kinahanglan ipaglaban
Ang kamatuoran dili angay ilubong

[Add lead guitar licks and subtle keyboard fills]

[PRE-CHORUS 2 – STRONGER BUILD-UP]

Busa pagmata, ayaw pagpadala
Ayaw tugoti nga kita maguba
Ablihi ang mata, ablihi ang hunahuna
Ang kagawasan naa sa atong mga kamot

[Drum tom fills]
[Increasing guitar distortion]
[Full band hits before chorus]

[CHORUS 2 – POWERFUL REGGAE ROCK]

KAGAWASAN! Atong pangandoy
Kalinaw sa kalibutan, atong tinguha
Walay gubat, walay pagdumot
Gugma ug panaghiusa ang atong dalan

KAGAWASAN! Ipataas ang kamot
Ipalanog ang tingog sa tibuok kalibutan
Bisan unsa pa ang atong kahimtang
Kitang tanan adunay katungod nga molupad!

[Backing vocals: One Love! One Heart!]
[Heavy guitar riffs and energetic drum fills]

[BRIDGE – HALF-TIME EMOTIONAL SECTION]

[Suddenly drop to bass, soft keyboard and rim-click drums]
[Lead singer delivers emotionally]

Dili bala ang kinabuhi para sa tanan?
Dili bala ang kalinaw ang atong gikinahanglan?
Ayaw na ug a way, undangi ang kasuko
Kay ang gugma maoy tambal sa kalibutan nga guba

[Gradually build drums and guitar]

One Love! One Heart!
Usa ra ang atong kalibutan!
One Love! One Heart!
Kagawasan para sa katawhan!

KAGAWASAN! Atong pangandoy
Kalinaw sa kalibutan, atong tinguha
Walay gubat, walay pagdumot
Gugma ug panaghiusa ang atong dalan

KAGAWASAN! Ipataas ang kamot
Ipalanog ang tingog sa tibuok kalibutan
Bisan unsa pa ang atong kahimtang
Kitang tanan adunay katungod nga molupad!
