Abot tanaw pangarap ayThe dream is within sight,
Kailanma’y ‘di abot kamaybut it never seems within reach.
Hanggang kailan ba tayo sasagwanHow long must we keep rowing,
Kailan ba titila itong ulanand when will this rain finally stop?
Abot tanaw mga bituinThe stars are within sight,
Ngunit bakit lagi na lang bitinbut why does it always feel like not enough?
Kailan ba bubuksan aking pintuanWhen will my door be opened?
Kailan ba papabor ang kapalaranWhen will fate finally turn in my favor?
MagtiwalaJust trust.
Sa madilim na gabiIn the dark of the night,
Darating ang arawthe sun is sure to rise.
Na ‘di na kailangan ng bulalakawA time when we won’t need shooting stars,
‘Di na tayo bibitawand we won’t ever let go.
Ako at ikawJust you and me,
Puso nang siyang sisigawthe heart itself will shout,
Ang lahat ay matutupadthat everything will come true.
Hiraya manawariMay the heart’s desires be granted.
Hiraya manawariMay the heart’s desires be granted.
Nung sinubok ng wagas aking landasWhen my path was tested to the limit,
Nung sinubok ng wagas aking landaswhen my journey was truly challenged,
Doon ko natagpuan aking lakasthat is where I found my strength.
Doon ko natagpuanThat is where I found it.
‘Di na matatakot sa paghakbangI won’t be afraid to take a step,
Kung sa bawat paglingon ika’y nakaabangif you’re there waiting every time I look back.
MagtiwalaJust trust.
MagtiwalaHave faith.
Sa madilim na gabiIn the dark of the night,
Darating ang arawthe sun is sure to rise.
Na ‘di na kailangan ng bulalakawA time when we won’t need shooting stars,
‘Di na tayo bibitawand we won’t ever let go.
Ako at ikawJust you and me,
Puso nang siyang sisigawthe heart itself will shout,
All lahat ay matutupadthat everything will come true.
Hiraya manawariMay the heart’s desires be granted.
Sa madilim na gabiIn the dark of the night,
Darating ang arawthe sun is sure to rise.
Na ‘di na kailangan ng bulalakawA time when we won’t need shooting stars,
‘Di na tayo bibitawand we won’t ever let go.
Ako at ikawJust you and me,
Puso nang siyang sisigawthe heart itself will shout,
Ang lahat ay matutupadthat everything will come true.
Ang lahat ay matutupadEverything will come true.
Ang lahat ay matutupadEverything will come to pass.
Hiraya manawariMay the heart’s desires be granted.
