Sa Palad Natin

Sa bawat bagsak, may sumbat

With every fall, someone casts blame

Sa ibang dibdib ang sugat

While another heart carries the pain

Habang bibig ay abala

While our mouths are busy speaking

Paa'y bihag naman pala

Our feet remain trapped and waiting

Sa bintana, may umaga

Beyond the window waits the morning

Sa salamin, lumang mukha

In the mirror, the same old face

Ilang “sana” ang lumipas

How many “if onlys” have passed us by

Wala pa ring bagong bukas

Yet no new tomorrow has arrived

Isang hakbang, isang sindi

One small step, one spark of light

Sa gabing walang bituin

Within a night that has no stars

Ang pintong ayaw bumukas

The door that refuses to open

Sa sariling kamay, bukas

Can be opened by our own hands

Sa palad natin ang bukas

Tomorrow is in our hands

Hindi bituin ang landas

The stars do not decide our path

Kung hindi tayo, sino pa?

If not us, then who else will?

Kung hindi ngayon, kailan pa?

If not now, then when will we begin?

Ako'y sindi, ika'y lakas

I am the spark, and you are the strength

Tayo ang sagot at bukas

We are the answer and tomorrow

Kung walang unang tatayo

If no one dares to rise first

Walang landas na lilitaw

No path will ever come to light

Hindi laging may sandalan

There will not always be someone to lean on

Minsan tayo ang sandigan

Sometimes, we must become the support

Hindi laging may aakay

There will not always be someone to lead us

Minsan tayo ang gagabay

Sometimes, we must be the ones who guide

Ang pangarap walang paa

A dream has no feet of its own

Kung wala ring unang gawa

Unless the first work has begun

Di sapat ang munting ilaw

One small light will never be enough

Kung ayaw nating lumitaw

If we are afraid to let ourselves shine

Isang hakbang, isang sindi

One small step, one spark of light

Sa gabing walang bituin

Within a night that has no stars

Ang pintong ayaw bumukas

The door that refuses to open

Sa sariling kamay, bukas

Can be opened by our own hands

Sa palad natin ang bukas

Tomorrow is in our hands

Hindi bituin ang landas

The stars do not decide our path

Kung hindi tayo, sino pa?

If not us, then who else will?

Kung hindi ngayon, kailan pa?

If not now, then when will we begin?

Ako'y sindi, ika'y lakas

I am the spark, and you are the strength

Tayo ang sagot at bukas

We are the answer and tomorrow

Kung walang unang tatayo

If no one dares to rise first

Walang landas na lilitaw

No path will ever come to light

Hindi tayo isinulat

We were never merely written

Tayo mismo ang panulat

We ourselves are the pen

Hindi sa guhit ng bituin

Not within the patterns of the stars

Nasa kamay ang mithiin

Our destiny rests within our hands

Sa palad natin ang bukas

Tomorrow is in our hands

Hindi bituin ang landas

The stars do not decide our path

Kung hindi tayo, sino pa?

If not us, then who else will?

Kung hindi ngayon, kailan pa?

If not now, then when will we begin?

Ako'y sindi, ika'y lakas

I am the spark, and you are the strength

Tayo ang sagot at bukas

We are the answer and tomorrow

Kung walang unang tatayo

If no one dares to rise first

Walang landas na lilitaw

No path will ever come to light

Bawat hakbang, bagong guhit

Every step draws a brand-new line

Bawat gawa, bagong awit

Every action becomes a new song

Sa palad natin ang bukas

Tomorrow is in our hands

Sa palad natin ang bukas

Tomorrow is in our hands
