Cris:
Lagi kitang sinusubaybayan
Nananaginip na balang araw ay maging katulad mo
Magbigay ng dangal sa bayan ko at sigla sa buong mundo
Ipagkakapuri ng magulang ko
Lea:
Oh, minsan ako'why nangarap tulad mo
Kaypalad ko't maagang nabatid ang totoo
Dapat lang magtiwala ng lubos sa sarili't husay mo
Ibigay lahat ng makakaya mo
At pagmasdan, makakamit lahat ng inaasam
Unti-unti maaabot ang mga pangarap mo
Kung nais pa'why lumipad sa rurok ng iyong isipan
Ibigay lang ang lahat ng makakaya mo
Kahit hindi mo pa panahon
Ngayon pa lang tagumpay ka na
Cris:
Dapat lang magtiwala ng lubos
Lea:
Sa sarili't husay mo
Both:
Ibigay lahat ng makakaya mo

At pagmasdan makakamit lahat ng inaasam
