A spoken word piece in tribute to the artist’s grandfather, an island forest ranger during WWII in the Philippines.
Lyrics: When my grandfather roamed the trees/ he found the towns the maps won’t see/ He named them after daughters in the family/ planted their names like seeds in wind
No monument, no marble stone/ just syllables in fields grown wild/ a village whispered down the bone/ a river singing like a child
The maps may fade, the trails may die/ but names, once sown, will learn to fly/ And I, his heir of root and frame/ still carry blossoms from his name
