Tulad Mo	Like You
Itong tula't kantang aking nais iparating	This poem and song that I want to express
Heto ang makatang bibo na malinis ang hangarin	This energetic poet with good intentions
Pakinggan ang mga lirikong aking sasambitin	Listen to the lyrics that I’m about to say
Buhay ng batang nangangarap makamit ang mithiin	Life of a child who hopes to achieve her dreams
Sa mundong ibabaw mga tao ay iba-iba	In this world there are different people
Simula't sapul musmos na isip ay di alintana	From the start this young mind is oblivious
ang biyayang binigay sakanya ng Panginoon	to the gifts God has given her
Sa kanyang palad palagi mga dasal ay may tugon	In her palms all prayers are answered
Tila ba sa bawat pag-awit nagmumula sa puso	It’s like when she sings, it comes from the heart
Ngiti sa mga labi pagtapak ng entablado	A smile in her lips when she goes up the stage
Mga taong binubulong sinisigaw kanyang pangalan	The people whispering, shouting her name
Lubos ang ligaya sa musikang nilalaan ngunit	Filled with happiness with her music but
sa kabila ng kanyang tinatahak na landas para bang	despite the road she’s taking it’s like
may kapalit at magulo ang dinaranas	Everything has a price, a chaotic experience
Dating buhay, ang simpleng pamumuhay	Previous life, the simple life
Kung di lang sa pangarap na nagbibigay na kulay	If not for the dream that makes her life colorful
[Koro]	[Chorus]
Parang ihip lang ng hangin ang panahon	Time is like a breeze of air
Maraming tatahakin sa bawat yugto	There are a lot of challenges in each stage
Tanong sa sarili kung titigil ba o tatakbo	Asking myself if I should stop or go
Tao lang naman ako na tulad mo	I’m just a human being like you
Kay sarap isipin ang pangarap na tinatamasa	It’s so nice to think that the goals achieved
parang panaginip	feels like a dream
ang lahat ika'y sagana ngunit hindi kayang iwasan	In everything you’re blessed but you can’t avoid
ang mapanghusga na para bang tuwang tuwa	the critics who seem to enjoy
kapag ika'y nadarapa	when you fall down
At minsan tinamaan nga naman ni Kupido	And sometimes Cupid targets your heart
Para bang nasa langit subalit naging komplikado	It feels like you’re in heaven but it gets complicated
Iniwang nakalutang at tuluyang nag-iisa	Left hanging and completely alone
Paulit-ulit ang tanong, “sino ba ang nagkasala?”	Repeatedly asking, “who is to blame?”
Nagtiwala kasalanan bang damdamin ay tapat?	I trusted, but is it my fault my feelings are true?
Yun ang akala ako pala'y hindi parin sapat	That’s what I thought, I still wasn’t enough
Damang-dama, mga sugat mahirap mawala	Deeply hurt, the wounds are hard to heal
hanggang sa pumatak nalang ang mga luha sa lupa	Until my tears fall to the ground
Na tila ba nabubulagan, bakas ang nakaraan	Like I was blinded, the past left a mark
Na di na dapat balikan sa laki ng kamalian	That I should not revisit for the huge mistake
Tuloy ang buhay at pangarap sa bawat segundo	Life and my dream go on in every moment
Tao lang naman ako at dakilang macho!	I’m just a human being and a great macho!
[Ulitin ang Koro ikatlong beses]	[Repeat Chorus three times]
