Taylor's POV.

"He's the most youngest multi-billionaire."

"At the age of 27, Taylor Alcantara has his own company that operates almost everything in the field of air and water."

"He owns the world's biggest hospital and he managed it by himself."

"Looks like the media loves you huh? Wala ka na ngang ginagawa, ikaw pa rin ang nasa news. "

Tch. "Do you think I like being in the news every now and then? It f@ckin suffocates me so please.. Can you leave me alone now? I have some important things to do rather than talking to you."

"Chill. You know, I think you should pamper yourself. Go to Tagaytay or Baguio or Palawan. Anywhere, I can take care of what's here kuya. Please, magpahinga ka." Then he stormed out of the room.

I continued what I'm supposed to be doing as I turned the radio on.

I'm a very busy person. So as you know, I'm a multi-billionaire. I handle all the bussinesses cause you know, I'm a multi-billionaire.

Ask me why?

Back then, my Mother only wants my money in my piggy bank when I was a kid so I promised her na I will be a millionaire someday para makuha niya lahat ng gusto niya. So I worked hard. Study hard. I finished my college as the batch's cumlaude and I build my company.

I can't stand to fly,

I'm not that naїve.

Yes, it's a bit hard at first because I knew nothing about the other field. But I managed to do what I have to do just to make this company strong as it gets bigger and bigger.

I'm just out to find,

The better part of me.

I dont know how I manage myself to have all the things that I barely imagine when I'm still a kid. Dati nga hindi ko talaga alam na may nagbago na sa akin. I just found it out when my brother told me that I'm not the kuya he used to have.

I'm more than a bird,

I'm more than a plane.

I'm more than some pretty face beside a train,

It's not easy to be me.

Sa taas ng lipad ko ngayon. Sa taas ng narating ko, hindi ko lubos maisip na may nagbago pala sa akin.

I wish that I could cry,

Fall upon my knees.

There are lot of things that I wanted to cry on. Ikaw, sa tingin mo, ikaw ang pumalit sa pwesto ko, ako ang magbabasa,

Ikaw ang maging multi-billionaire, ikaw ang maghandle ng hundred transactions.

Ikaw ang magpanggap na kaya mo ang lahat when all you wanted to do is to cry,

To show how weak you are,

To show the world that you are a person too.

Do you think a multi-billionaire can do that? No. They might take that oppurtunity para pabagsakin ako. And I won't let my guards down that fast of course.

Find a way to lie,

'Bout a home I'll never see.

On the years that passed by, I'm used to being the cold, emotionless, straight faced Mr. Taylor Alcantara. They can't see me showing any single emotion. Wala.

I pretend to be someone I'm not.

It may sound absurb but don't be naїve,

Even heroes have the right to bleed.

At a very very young age, nagtrabaho na ako kasabay ng pag-aaral ko.

Ako ang nagpakain sa magulang ko ng makatapos ako.

Nagpagawa ako ng bahay.

Pinag-aral ko ang kapatid ko na wala ng ginawa kung hindi ang magpaka-childish.

Nasasaktan ako at nahihirapan. Pero mas pinili ko na rin na ganito na lang.

Na magmatigas na lang ako. Para ako lang yung nasasaktan.

I may be disturbed but won't you concede,

Even heroes have the right to dream.

Pero siguro, ganun talaga. Kulang pa rin lahat ng ginawa ko para makatulong ako.

And so ginawa ko ang lahat para lang maabot yung pangarap ko.

It's not easy to be me.

Up, up and away, away from me,

Well it's alright.

Dahil sa pag-abot ko sa pangarap ko, nawala sa akin ang lahat.

Ang mga magulang ko.

Ang kapatid ko.

Ang lahat ng taong mahalaga sa akin.

Mga kaibigan.

Wala. Walang natira.

Pero okay lang, kaya ko naman yung sarili ko eh.

Okay lang ako na mag-isa ako.

You can all sleep sound tonight,

I'm not crazy or anything.

Okay na sa akin na ayan sila, na masaya.

Wala na sa akin kung ako ang nasasaktan and all.

I want to protect them and I want them to be happy.

I can't stand to fly,

I'm not that naїve.

Men weren't meant to ride,

With clouds between their knees.

Even without me.

Masakit man pero, hindi ko maabot lahat ng ito kung nandyan sila. Pinilit kong kumawala kasi hindi ko kakayanin kung sila ang masasaktan.

I'm only a man in a silly red sheet,

Digging for kryptonite on this one way street.

Hindi naman ako si Superman. kahit naman siguro sa pag-iyak lang pwede hndi ba? Nahihirapan akong ilabas ang tunay na ako, dahil sa oras na ginawa ko iyon, posibleng gawin nilang tyansa iyon para makaganti sakin.

Sasaktan nila ang pamilya ko.

Only a man in a funny red sheet.

Pero kaya ko 'to. Hindi ako dapat magpatalo. Kaya ko dapat ito.

Looking for special things inside of me

Kakayanin ko. Kasi ako ito eh. Ako lang naman ito.

It's not easy to be me.

Yeah. Siguro. Kahit hanggang dulo, kakayanin ko.
