A Little Love

Commitment Song

A little love that slowly grows and grows,

Not one that comes and goes,
Thats all I ask of you.

Ill give my hand

To those who cannot see
The sunlight or the falling rain

A sunny day to look up to the sky,

A hand to help me by,
Thats all I ask of you.

Ill sing my song

To cheer the weary along
For I may never pass this way again.

Dont let me down,

Oh, show me that you care,
Remember when you give,
You also get a share.

Ill share my faith

With every troubled heart
So I shall not have live in vain

Dont let me down,

I have no time to wait,
Tomorrow my not come,
By then will be too late.

Ill give my hand, Ill sing my song

Ill share my faith, Because I know
That the time has come
To fulfill each vow
For I may never pass this way again.

Ang Tenga

Everything Together

Kung ang tenga moy lay lay

At kakampay-kampay
Itali mo ng sinulid
Sa dulo ng palaso
Isampay sa balikat
Tulad ng isang Iskaut
Kung ang tenga moy lay lay.

We can do everything together

Everything together for the boy
Theres nothing we can never do
Never can do anything at all
We can solve many different problems
If we work together for the boy.
All our troubles will vanish away
And well have a brand new day.
All our troubles will vanish away
And well have a brand new day.

Scout Songs

Follow Me Boys

Hail, Hail, The Gangs All Here

Theres a job to do, theres a fight to win

Follow me boys, follow me
And it wont be done till we all pitch in
Lift your chin with a grin and follow me.

Hail! Hail! The gangs all here

Never mind the weather
Here we are together
Hail! Hail! The gangs all here
So let the fun begin right now

Chorus

Follow me boys, follow me

When you think youre really beat
Thats the time to lift your feet
And follow me, boys, follow me
Pick them up, put them down and follow me
Its a long long climb but weve got the will
Follow me boys, follow me
When we reach the top and its all down hill
Till you dropped dont stop and follow me
There the journeys end is beyond our sight
Follow me boys, follow me
If we do our best, then weve all done right
Pack your load, beat the road and follow me.

Guide a Boy
Never walk through the world all alone,
Never leave all the paths you have trodden.
Every day is a bright new tomorrow,
Yesterday must not be all forgotten.
Everything will look bright if you smile,
Never frown at mistakes of others.
Make them feel everything will be worthwhile,
If you live in this world like a Scouter.
The boys are all hoping and wishing that you
Will guide them on their way.
So give all youve got, never leave anything,
True love is found in Scouting.
So walk with the boy in your hand,
Guiding him through the path full of sunshine
Never leave any path still untrodden,
Never leave any stone still unturned.

Repeat

Smile, smile spread that smile

Never mind your temper
Here we are together
Smile, smile spread that smile
Spread that smile together now

Happy All the Time

Im inward, outward, upward, downward
Happy all the time
Im inward, outward, upward, downward
Happy all the time.
Since Scouting came to me
And show me all these skills
Im inward, outward, upward, downward
Happy all the time.
(leftward, rightward, backward, forward)

The Boy Scouts are on their way.

I Used to be a CooKoo
I used to be cookoo
A good ol cookoo too
But now Ive finished cookooing
I dont know what to do
Im growing old and feeble
And I cant coo no more
So, Im going to work my ticket if I can
Back to Gilwell happy land
Im going to work my ticket if I can
Back to Gilwell happy land
Im going to work my ticket if I can
Replace CooKoo with your Wood Badge Animal
Replace Gilwell with Makiling

Everybody dance
Everybody clap

Im Going Back Home

Im going back home, to Mt. Makiling
Where the sunshine never fades.
Im going back home, to Mt. Makiling
Where the sunshine never fades.
I miss the sunshine, I miss the rain,
I miss the moonlight on Scouters lane.
Im going back home, to Mt. Makiling
Where the sunshine never fades.
Hail, hail to you! (Hail to you!)
Hail, hail to you! (Hail to you!)
When I look at, look at you
When you look at, look at me
Keep your smile and hail to you.
Im going back home, to Mt. Makiling
Where the sunshine never fades.

Im Happy When Im Hiking

Tramp, tramp, tramp, tramp
Tramp, tramp, tramp, tramp
Im happy when Im hiking,
Pack upon my back
Im happy when Im hiking,
Off the beaten track
Out in the open country,
Thats the place for me
With a good Scout friend,
To the journeys end
Ten, twenty, thirty, forty, fifty miles away
Tramp, tramp, tramp, tramp
Tramp, tramp, tramp, tramp

In My Dreams

Kung ang Ulan

When in the glow of a fire burning low

There are moments I recall
Back to my mind come the days far behind
And the time that hold me over all

Kung ang ulan ay malapot na sorbetes

O kay sarap ng ulan
Kung ang ulan ay malapot ng sorbetes
O kay sarap ng ulan
Akoy lalabas at akoy nganganga
Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah!
O kay sarap ng ulan

Then the years fade away and again I stray

To paths of a brighter hue
Where boys voice ring, where Youth is King
And the skies again are blue.
In my dreams
Im going back to Gilwell
To the joys and happiness Ive found
On those grand weekends
With my dear old friends
To see the training ground.
Oh the grass is greener back in Gilwell
And to breathe again that Scouting air
And in memories, I see B.P.
Who never will be far from there.

Iskauting ang Sandigan

Iskauting ang sandigan di magigiba
Iskauting ang sandigan di magigiba
Kasing tatag ng kabundukan di magigiba

Ive Got that Scouting Spirit

Ive got that Scouting Spirit
Up in my head, up in my head, up in my head
Ive got the Scouting Spirit
Up in my head, up in my head to stay.
B.P. Spirit
Deep in my Heart Down on my Knee Down on my Toe
All Over Me

Makiling, Youre for Me

Makiling, youre for me
Makiling, youre for me
I know a place where every Scouters go
Where there is fun and hearts are all aglow
It overlooks the bay as it rises to the sky
Where moon beams flirt with dew drops
As the breezes sigh
God feeds the soul, the body, and the mind
Scouting Ideals are never hard to find
Now I know, Makiling is the place for me
Makiling, youre for me
Makiling, youre for me
I cant imagine, myself as in a dream
Climbing the mountains and down the small ravine
The magic of its peace and quiet always shall stay
To make this place a heaven, each and everyday
Oh, how I wish I never have to leave
All of my life such beauty to receive
Now I know, Makiling is the place for me
Makiling, youre for me
Makiling, youre for me

O Pag-Ibig

Red River Valley

O pag-ibig at pagsintang tunay

Na tangi kong taglay
Sa iyoy iaalay.

From this valley they say you are going

We will miss your bright eyes and sweet smile
For they say you are taking the sunshine
That brightens our paths once a while.

Lingapin mo
At pag-asay bigyan
Ang abang puso ko
Sa iyoy nagmamahal.
Huwag mo sanang
Hayaang magdusa
Pag-ibig sa akin iyong ipadama
Tandaan mo ang pag-ibig ko
Tanging iaalay
Sa iyo aking mahal.

On My Honor
On my honor, Ill do my best,
To do my duty to God,
On my honor, Ill do my best,
To serve my country as I may.
On my honor, Ill do my best,
To do a good turn each day.
To keep my body strengthened,
And keep my mind awakened,
To follow paths of righteousness,
On my honor, Ill do my best.

One Little Candle

It is better to light
Just one little candle
Than to stumble in the dark
Better far than to light
Just one little candle
All you need is a tiny spark
If well all say a prayer
That the world would be free
The wonderful day
Of a new dawn well see
And if everyone light
Just one little candle
What a bright world this would be.

Come and sit by my side if you love me

Do not hasten to bid me adieu
But remember the red river valley
And the brother that loved you so true.

Si Lola
Si lola ay nagbalikbayan
May dalang paypay galing China
Si lola ay nagbalikbayan
May dalang paypay
May dalang paypay
Si lola ay nagbalikbayan
Bakya Japan
Hula Hoop Hawaii

Sing Your Way Home

Sing your way home
At the close of the day
Sing your way home
Drive the shadows away
Smile every mile
For wherever you go
It will brighten your road
It will lighten your load
If you sing your way home
