Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Bawat galaw ay ating pasya, kung lalaban o sasama
Pag-ibig ay kulay at tiwala'y tumatatag 'pag tunay

[Pre-Chorus]
May lakas na galing sa tubig at sa puso mo'y mahika
Bibigyang dangal ang pamana, 'pag liwanag ang 'yong dala
Magkaisa nang tumibay at 'di mahihiwalay
Tatatag 'wag lamang matakot

[Chorus]
Na subukan (At magtiwala, tayo ang kanilang gabay)
Na subukan (At magtiwala, tayo ang kanilang gabay)
Na subukan (At magtiwala, tayo ang kanilang gabay)
Na subukan (At magtiwala, tayo ang kanilang gabay)

[Verse 2]
Nasaktan man puso, dapat mong buksan
Sa pamilyang iyong kanlungan
Kahit may alitan, pag-aalangan
Pangamba at takot dapat tanggalin

[Pre-Chorus]
May lakas na galing sa tubig at sa puso mo'y mahika
Bibigyang dangal ang pamana, 'pag liwanag ang 'yong dala
Magkaisa nang tumibay at 'di mahihiwalay
Tatatag 'wag lamang matakot
[Chorus]
Na subukan (At magtiwala, tayo ang kanilang gabay)
Na subukan (At magtiwala, tayo ang kanilang gabay)
Na subukan (At magtiwala, tayo ang kanilang gabay)
Na subukan (At magtiwala, tayo ang kanilang gabay)

[Bridge]
Ahh, una mong hakbang tulad ng akin lang, 'di mabibigo
Lumipas iwan, aral tandaan, buhay magbago

[Pre-Chorus]
May lakas na galing sa tubig at sa puso mo'y mahika
Bibigyang dangal ang pamana, 'pag liwanag ang 'yong dala
Magkaisa nang tumibay at 'di mahihiwalay
Tatatag 'wag lamang matakot

[Chorus]
Na subukan (At magtiwala, tayo ang kanilang gabay)
Na subukan (At magtiwala, tayo ang kanilang gabay)
Na subukan (At magtiwala, tayo ang kanilang gabay)
Na subukan (At magtiwala, tayo ang kanilang gabay)
