Fil-Aussie MiG Ayesa, the rockstar famed for being a finalist in the RockStar: INXS reality contest in the US, was kind enough to compose a song for the victims wrecked by ‘Ondoy.’ It is specifically made to help uplift and boost the spirits of the survivors of the the tragic typhoon. MiG also took part in a fund-raising benefit show for the Ondoy Relief Fund last Sunday, October 12. So nice of him!

This is the information regarding the fund-raising benefit from MiG’s website (and the accompanying poster):

Here’s what MiG has to say about United As One:

“I just wanted to share with you a song I am sending to use to help raise funds for the victims of Ondoy in the Philippines. Please bear in mind this is a demo, recorded at home, using my very limited studio and playing all the instruments. I hope people can pick up this song and use it as an anthem for the relief efforts and also use it to raise much-needed funds. Any help or ideas you may have to get it to the right people would be very much appreciated.”

“The world has seemed to forgotten what is still such a painful and drastic situation. I hope this song will inspire people to act and give hope.”

Kasama mo ako

(I am with you)

Kasama mo ako

I hear you calling out my name

And I just can’t ignore what you’re saying

I see you falling from the pain
And I’m feeling the way that you’re hurting

You’re my brother, sister don’t you cry

I’ll be there by your side to hold you up

Though you never thought this would matter

I’ll never leave you alone (Kasama mo ako)

So hold on tightly, hang on I’ll be

There by your side and we’ll battle the tide together…

Together…

Don’t be scared we’ll

Soon be where we

All want to be as we stand here united as one.

Pag langit ay du-mi-di-lim (When dark cloud leaves you in despair)

And the rain seems to fall down forever

At buhay ay uma-aah-sim (When life is just too much to bear)

And you can’t feel the break in the weather

You don’t have to worry

I’ll help you carry on

Through the eye of the storm we’re holding on

The day’s dawning, feel the sun warming

Healing you, keeping you strong… (Kasama mo ako)

So hold on tightly, hang on I’ll be

There by your side and we’ll battle the tide together…

Together…

Don’t be scared we’ll

Soon be where we

All want to be as we stand here united as one.

Kapatid, Kaibigan, Kababayan

Kapatid, Kaibigan, Kababayan

You are my brother, sister, mother

I’ll be there by your side to hold you up

I’ll be by your side…

So hold on tightly, hang on I’ll be

There by your side and we’ll battle the tide together…

Together…

Don’t be scared we’ll

Soon be where we

All want to be as we stand here united as one.

We stand as one.
