Phoenix of Manila

(Verse 1) He was a middle-aged man, down on his luck, Balding and lonely, his life was stuck. His teeth a mess, his confidence low, He set off for the Philippines, where the warm winds blow. (Chorus) In the land of the islands, he sought a new smile, But the temptations were many, he stayed for a while. With Filipina women, he found temporary bliss, But fate had its plans, sealed with a twist. (Verse 2) A stroke struck him down, left him frail and weak, But in the depths of despair, a flicker did peak. He found love anew, in a Filipina's embrace, And from their union, a miracle took place. (Chorus) Their baby boy, born with a brilliant mind, A beacon of hope, in a world unkind. He grew up strong, with dreams so vast, And with his determination, the die was cast. (Bridge) The father watched, with pride in his eyes, As his son reached for the skies. With each achievement, a victory won, A legacy of love, in the Philippine sun. (Chorus) From the ashes of loss, a new chapter began, In the heart of the Philippines, where dreams began. Their son built a resort, a beacon of light, A testament to love, shining ever bright. (Outro) So here's to the loser, who found his way, In the Philippines, where he chose to stay. From pain to triumph, the journey was long, But in the end, he found where he belonged.
