"Elesi"
Written by: Rico Blanco

'pag automatic na ang luha
tuwing naghahating-gabi
'pag imposibleng mapatawa
at 'di na madapuan ng ngiti

CHORUS: 
kumapit ka kaya
sa akin nang ikaw ay
maitangay sa kalayaan ng ligaya
tayo na, tayo na
ika'y magtiwala sapagka't
ngayong gabi ako ang
mahiwagang elesi

'pag komplikado ang problema
parang relong made in japan
at para ding sandwich na
nasa lunchbox mong nawawala
nabubulok na sa isipan

minsan ako'y nangailangan
dalian kang lumapit sa akin
ibinulong mo kaibigan
"ako ang iyong liwanag sa dilim"
