Tomorrow in Our Hands
Sa Palad NatinVerse 1
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
Pre-Chorus
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
Chorus
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
Verse 2
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
Pre-Chorus
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
Chorus
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
Bridge
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
Final Chorus
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
Outro
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
