The Art Of Survival

1000 Years

Claudeland

The song "An Ounce of Will" by Wayne Mathison is a powerful anthem about resilience, inner strength, and the transformative power of determination. Using a blend of psychedelic-prog-blues musical styles, it portrays the struggle against adversity—symbolized by mountains, storms, and heavy chains—as a test of willpower. The recurring motif of "an ounce of will" represents the small but critical measure of resolve needed to overcome challenges, turn scars into strength, and rise above defeat. The lyrics emphasize personal agency, with the narrator refusing to yield to fear or external pressures, instead choosing to forge their path through pain and perseverance. The imagery of fire, climbing, and breaking through night underscores a journey of self-empowerment and the enduring impact of steadfast courage.

An Ounce of Will

Verse]
Sa ilalim ng langit
Liwanag ang sayaw
Duyan ng hangin
Bumubulong sa galaw
Mga paa sa lupa
Tumitibok ang daigdig

[Chorus]
Purihin ka Bathala
Purihin ka Bathala
Sa lupa
Sa tubig
Sa apoy
Sa hangin
Purihin ka Bathala
Kami’y iyong awitin

[Verse 2]
Ang apoy ay buhay
Nag-aalab sa dilim
Katawan ay tambol
Bawat tibok ay taimtim
Kalikasan ang aming templo
Di kailanman lilimutin

[Prechorus]
Pakinggan ang sigaw ng puso
Sumayaw
Magkaisa sa ritmo

[Chorus]
Purihin ka Bathala
Purihin ka Bathala
Sa lupa
Sa tubig
Sa apoy
Sa hangin
Purihin ka Bathala
Kami’y iyong awitin

[Bridge]
(Hey-ah hey-ah hey-ah ho!)
Magsama-sama sa liwanag ng buwan
(Hey-ah hey-ah hey-ah ho!)
Ang daigdig ang ating iisang tahanan
(Hey-ah hey-ah hey-ah ho!)
Purihin ang biyaya
Purihin ang kalikasan
