[VERSE 1]
Hawak ang iyong kamay sa pag lapag
Sa mundong hindi tanggap ang ating pagsasama
Maraming salita. Sa harap, sa kanan, at kaliwa
Ngunit hindi matitinag
(Pagka't mga puso natin handa)

Sigaw nilang lahat (mga bata pa kayo)
Dami niyong kailangan malaman
Musmos palang kami (ganito na ang buhay)
Ito na ang katotohanan
Pinili mong kumayod, upang suportahan
Ang aking pag-aaral, ang ating hinaharap

Hindi tayo takot (kahit na mahirap ang )
Mundo ay iikot
Walang alinlangan (Basta ba kasama ka)
Kahit na gutom (Basta ba kasama ka, Basta ba kasama ka)

[PRE-Chorus]

Hawak ang iyong kamay, pauwi
Mula sa araw na ka'y haba
Kahit na mahirap ang buhay basta't makasama ka
Sa dilim, may nag mamasid
Dinig ang baril na kinakasa
Sa pag putok ay ninakaw ka nila
At pagpikit ng iyong mata...
[Chorus]
Hindi kita maiwang (dumudugo)
Hindi kita maiwan

[VERSE 2]
Hawak ang iyong bangkay sa pagpatak ng mga luha
Di ko parin tanggap na wala ka na
Anong magagawa?

Giliw ako'y takot (pagkat mahirap ang)
Mundo ay iikot nang wala ka na (Bakit ba kinuha ka?)
Ang dami kong tanong
(Bakit ba kinuha ka?)
Bakit ba ka kinuha ka sa akin?

[PRE-Chorus]
Hawak ang mumunting kinita mula sa araw na ka'y haba
Tila nalulunod sa hirap, may pagasa pa kaya?
Sa dilim may nag mamasid at dinig ang baril na kinakasa
Sa pag putok, ang sakit ay dama
Sa pagpikit ng aking
Mata...

[BRIDGE]
Ang buhay ba namin barya para sa katulad nila
Walang laman-tiyan pero katawan nami'y punong-puno ng tingga
Karahasan ba ang sagot? Karapatan ba ay limot?
Anong dahilan? Anong dahilan ba nito?
[PRE-Chorus]
Sa huli, magkatabi silang ililibing
Wagas na pagiibigan kinitil
Sa pagsara ng kabaong nila...

[OUTRO]
Ang hustiya ba'y bulag (dumudugo)
At nalulunod sa dugo?

--------------ENGLISH TRANSLATION--------------

[VERSE 1]
Holding your hand as we make our way
In this world that doesn’t accept our love
So many words. To our faces, on our right, to the left
But it never fazed us
(Because our hearts were ready)

They all screamed (you’re too young)
There’s so much you still need to learn
We were just children (life has always been like this)
This was already our reality
You chose to work so you could support
My education, our future together

We weren’t afraid (even if it was hard)
The world will continue to turn
No fear or doubt (as long as we’re together)
Even if we’re hungry (as long as we’re together, as long as we’re together)
[PRE-Chorus]
Holding your hand, on the way home
From such a long, hard day
Even if life is hard, as long as we’re together
In the dark, there are eyes watching
The sound of a gun being cocked
With a shot, they stole you from me
And with that, your eyes closed…

[Chorus]
I could not leave you (bleeding)
I could not leave you

[VERSE 2]
Holding your corpse as my tears fell
I could not accept that you were gone
What could I do?
My love, I am afraid (for it’s so hard)
To think that the world will turn without you (Why did they take you?)
I have so many questions (Why did they take you?)
Why did they take you away from me?

[PRE-Chorus]
I hold what little we earned from a day so long
Drowning in poverty, is there still hope?
In the dark there are eyes watching and the sound of a gun being cocked
With a shot, I felt the pain
And with that, my eyes close…

[BRIDGE]
Are our lives nothing but loose change for their kind
Nothing in our bellies but our bodies are full of lead
Is violence the answer? Are all rights forgotten?
What is the reason? Why are they doing this?

[PRE-Chorus]
At the end, they will be buried side-by-side
True love cut short
With the slamming of their coffins

[OUTRO]
Is justice blind (bleeding)?
And drowning in blood?
