My favorite OPM song


Next in line

What is life to offer me when I grow old
What's there to look forward to beyond the biting cold
They say it's difficult, yes, stereotypical

What's there beyond sleep, eat, work in this cruel life
Ain't there nothin' else 'round here but humans strife
'Cause they say it's difficult, yes, stereotypical
Gotta be conventional, you can't be so radical

So I sing this song to all of my age
For these are the questions we've got to face
For in this cycle that we called life
We are the ones who are next in line
We are next in line

What is life to offer me when I grow old
What's that to look forward to beyond the biting cold
'Cause they say it's difficult, yes, stereotypical
Gotta be conventional, you can't be so radical

So I sing this song to all of my age
For these are the questions we've got to face
For in this cycle that we called life
We are the ones who are next in line
We are next in line
Hoh oh, we are next in line

BRIDGE
And we gotta work, we gotta feel (we gotta feel)
Let's open our eyes and do whatever it takes
And we gotta work, we gotta feel (we gotta feel)
Let's open our eyes, hoh woh



Composer: Wency Cornejo  




Wency never expected to become a successful singer and songwriter. He was rejected twice when he auditioned for Kundirana, the famous singing group of De La Salle University-Manila. Since then, he concentrated on his studies in college and only sang his favorite U2 songs during laboratory classes. It was during one of these occasional "solo concerts" that a classmate took note of his singing prowess, and told him that he knew of a band that was in need of a singer. That band happened to be Afterimage. His entry into the band marked the start of his professional singing career. Afterimage became one of the most successful bands in the '90s. Unfortunately, the group disbanded after 11 years and three hit albums. Wency, then, pursued a solo career. He has released four albums as a solo artist.

He is the son of veteran newscaster and talk show personality Mel Tiangco.
