Lyrics

I
Makulimlim mong mga mata
Tila malapit nang mga luha ay pumatak
O hayaan lang silang umagos nang tuluy-tuloy
Tuloy ka lang

II
Katulad lang ng mga ulap
‘Pag ‘di na kaya ang bigat
Umiiyak Oh…

Chorus
Itago mo, ikandado sa puso mo
Itong bibitiwang pangako
Kung ang mundo’y tumalikod na sa’yo
Tahan na,
Ako na ang tahanan mo

III
Kung tadhana’y hinahaplos ka ng lamig
Halika’t kukumutan ka ng aking pag-ibig
Kung kapalaran ma’y binabagyo ka nang paulit-ulit
Ipagtatanggol din Kitang paulit-ulit
Paulit-ulit Oh…

Repeat chorus except last line  

Bridge
Tahan na
Ako na ang titila sa mga luha mo
At ‘di magtatagal ay sisikat din ang araw at matutunaw
Mga anino riyan sa puso mo Oh… Kaya…

Repeat chorus

Coda
Tahan na Ako na ang tahanan mo

Song Story

A poetic indie gospel song that hits right in the feels, “Tahan Na”, is about placing our hope in God amidst all our tragedies in life. Penned by 27-year-old graphic artist Rinz Ruiz, the song was originally written for his friend who’s struggling with depression, financial troubles, and career challenges. With its poetic lyrics, deep, sentimental meanings, and nostalgic tunes, the song is a perfect reminder to all of us to keep going even when times are hard. In his desire to inspire a friend, Rinz passionately penned the lyrics of his song that speaks about resting our troubles, sorrows, and pain in God and then eventually finding a home in God’s love. As an aspiring composer, his heart was plagued with doubts and fears. But then, Rinz had seen a reason to join the songwriting tilt through the support of his friend. Hailing from a musical family, he grew up falling in love with creating melodies and writing lyrics for his songs. Years later, he was able to write a piece and since that day, he felt so delighted to be able to dedicate a song to God. Through his soul-soothing voice, up-and-coming OPM artist Vanz is set to pour his heart out in his striking rendition of the song.
