[MALE ENSEMBLE]
Ooh!
Ooh!
Ooh!
Ooh!

[BENIGNO SIMEON "NINOY" AQUINO JR.]
This song right here is goin' out
To all my Filipinos goin' through the struggle
You may feel like nobody sees you
But Aquino's got your back
Now listen up

Once upon a time I was a little prince

[MALE ENSEMBLE]
I was a prince!

[NINOY]
Anything I wanted, anything I wished

[MALE ENSEMBLE]
I wish, I wish!

[NINOY]
But money can burn you
And it won't set you free
Though my friends stuck around
Uh - I knew that I had to leave
All around our land I see hatred and fear

[MALE ENSEMBLE]
Hatred and fear!

[NINOY]
Where is the kindness, where now my dear?

[MALE ENSEMBLE]
Where can it be?

[NINOY]
Now can our country be healed?
Can it change and be strong
Will the answers come soon? Ha!
A-we have waited so long

Now listen up!

[NINOY AND MALE ENSEMBLE]
I am a child of the Philippines
From Calayan to Lake Sebu

[NINOY]
And I, I'm a young man
A young man in a hurry
But you
You know that those miracles
You know that those miracles
You know that those miracles
They might come true

I see you, Imelda

[IMELDA]
Hey, Aquino!

[NINOY]
Girl, you better bring that pretty face over here
Cause, uh, you make me wanna'
You make me wanna'

Uh!
Dream a little dream
Ha -
With a girl just like you

[MALE ENSEMBLE]
Girl just like you!

[IMELDA]
It's not a dream
And you know that it's good
[NINOY]
Now when you walked in the room
I just had to say, hi!
And with you by my side, uh!
I know we'll go far

[IMELDA]
Anything you want
Everything you do

[MALE ENSEMBLE]
That thing you do!

[IMELDA]
Love is gonna' change
The bad into good

[MALE ENSEMBLE]
Bad into good

[NINOY]
But we have waited so long
Now a change will come soon
And if you put me in charge
Hey! That's what I'd do

Help me out, fellas!

[NINOY, IMELDA AND MEN]
I am a child of the Philippines
From Calayan to Lake Sebu

[NINOY]
And this, this is our land
A land that's in a hurry

But you
You know that those miracles
You know that those miracles
You know that those miracles
They might come true

I think they can come true!
We can educate our children
And we can unionize our workers
We can give our people a break
Come on, let's give our people a break!

You say -

[MALE ENSEMBLE]
Give our people a break!

[NINOY]
Come on, let's give our people a break
Let me hear it!

[MALE ENSEMBLE]
Give our people a break!

[NINOY]
Let me hear it!
Give our people a break
You say -

[MALE ENSEMBLE]
Give our people a break!

[NINOY]
Just give 'em a break
Yeah
