Words by J. Roel LungayMusic by Romeo C. MascarinasPerformed by Romeo Mascarinas1Last night I woke up in the middle of the nightThought of things that meant...
1 Last night I woke up in the middle of the night Thought of things that meant so much for me and my wife - Children, school and house, livelihood and life I can’t stop thanking God for these Unanswered prayers.
2 When I was young my dreams were diff’rent from what I have now. I took a lot for granted, never cared so much; Dreaming far away, I could never stay But now I’m thankful, God, For these unanswered prayers.
Refrain: [You/they] are the answer to my unanswered prayers. I swear to God [you/they] are my unanswered prayers; I may not have known Coz I was so young and alone But now I realize you are the answer To my very prayers.
3 Funny but it seems like God had made plans all along; Took a lot of twists and turns, had to let go of my own; Funny it may seem, you know, how lucky have I been Now I have you all beside me - my unanswered prayers.
Bridge: God, I can’t thank enough, you're Lord of my life. Coz I owe you so much, I fall down on my knees; I couldn’t bear the thought of it had you answered all my dreams - I wouldn’t have my wife and kids - Your very answer to my unanswered prayers.
(Interlude)
(Repeat Refrain except last 2 lines)
Coda: But now I realize you are the answer to my very prayers.
The most important, the most precious blessings one could ever have are right there in front of you... gifts you may not have recognized when you were a bit...
The most important, the most precious blessings one could ever have are right there in front of you... gifts you may not have recognized when you were a bit younger.

I like the "from the heart, true to life lyric" and your vocal skills deliver them with excellence! Great recording and song. It sounds like a hit to me!

<p><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Romeo C. Mascariñas a.k.a Romeo Romeo is a veteran musician from Tagbilaran City, Bohol, Philippines. Originally a lead guitarist (when he played for Wine & Roses Band in Japan in the late 80s) he switched to being a versatile keyboard player which made him very attractive to younger generation of bands and musicians. His influences range from pop to rock, to jazz and even to the current day hiphop. He currently plays keyboard for the Centerstage Band performing every weekend at the Lazer Disco of Bohol Tropics and around the province. A singer-songwriter in his own right, he pursued songwriting to an even greater heights when he decided to collaborate with New Orleans-based songwriter, J. Roel Lungay, in 2009, in a musical venture they call "Gone Country!" Romeo is currently working on a project - his first in more than 30 years of performing covers - which he hopes to leave as a legacy on "fixed form."</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">To view or listen to our music, please visit the ff:</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><strong><a title="T.B.T.K." href="http://tigumbolanontibuokkalibutan.blogspot.com/">T.B.T.K.</a></strong></span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><strong><a title="Fro's Music" href="http://boholanocomposer.blogspot.com/">FRO'S MUSIC: FIELD OF DREAMS</a></strong></span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><strong><a title="Bohol Te Amo" href="http://boholteamo.blogspot.com/">BOHOL TE AMO</a></strong></span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><strong><a title="T.M.O.P.B." href="http://markofpriestlybliss.blogspot.com/">THE MARK OF PRIESTLY BLISS</a></strong></span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"> </span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"> (Joined Mixposure March 1st, 2010)</span></span></p><p><hr /></p><p> </p><p><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><strong><span style="background-color: #888888;"><span style="color: #00ffff;"><span style="background-color: #000000;"><span style="color: #ffff00;">PROGRAMME</span></span></span></span></strong></span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">(Note 1: Click the title below to view lyrics)</span></span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">(Note 2: It's best that you open another browser to view the lyrics </span></span></span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">and listen to the music at the same time.
