Alay sa 'yo
Habi ng buhay
Ay tangan-tangan mo
Mmm mmm
Kung kinakailangan ng buhay ay unti-unti mong baguhin
Ba't 'di mo simulan habang ikaw ay may oras pa
Upang kumilos, kumilos
Walang inaasahan kundi ikaw, ikaw lamang
[chorus]
Ikaw ang huhubog sa hiwaga ng buhay mo
Ang magsisikap para paikutin ang iyong mundo
Ang kukulay sa puti't itim ng 'yong puso
AD LIB
Kung hinahawakan mo ang pagsibol ng iyong tadhana, mabuti
Makakasiguro kang ang biyaya ay iyong makakamtan
Sa pagsisikap ay may sikat
Walang magsisimula kundi ikaw, ikaw lamang
[Repeat chorus]
Ikaw
[bridge]
Darating din ang araw na ang bawat ngiti, makakamtan mo
Simulan sa iyong buhay nang ang lahat ng kulay ay magliwanag sa iyo
[Repeat chorus]
