I want to share with you
The story of my friend’s life
To serve as a lesson and a guide
For those who lost on their way

His parents got separated
Because they’re always fighting
Being watched by the neighbors
But they’re afraid to interfere

Her mother went abroad
In order to work and earn
His father who’s a farmer
Is now cohabiting another

His two younger brothers
Became drug addicts
Now the three of them
Their future is uncertain

Their life and their future
Has no definite direction
Because there’s no one left
To guide and support them

Now the appeal of my friend
To our beloved parents
Don’t abandon nor destroy
Their kids and their home

Assure to them a bright future
Teach them what is good and right
Be a guiding light in their daily lives
To ensure they won’t be separated to God.

Ang kuwento ng kanyang buhay
Nais kong sanang isalaysay
Upang magsilbing aral at gabay
Sa mga ligaw, sa landas ay nawalay;

Mga magulang ay nagkahiwalay
‘Di magkasundo, laging nag-aaway
Nakikita ng mga kapitbahay
Sila naman ay takot sumaway;

Kanyang ina ay nangibang-bansa
Upang maghanapbuhay at kumita
Kanyang ama na magsasaka
May iba ng kinakasama;

Dal’wa niyang mahal na kapatid
Nalulong, naging mga drug addict
Sila ngayong magkakapatid
Kinabukasan ay ‘di batid;

Kanilang buhay at kinabukasan
Wala ng tiyak na patutunguhan
Pagkat wala ng mga magulang
Na gagabay sa tamang daan;

Ang panawagan ng aking kaibigan
Sa lahat ng mga mahal na magulang
Kanilang mga anak at tahanan
‘Wag pababayaan at ‘wag wawasakin

Magandang kinabukasan sa kanila ay ilaan
Ituro ang kabutihan at ilayo sa kasamaan;
Magsilbing gabay sa araw-araw nilang buhay
Nang hindi maligaw, sa Diyos ‘di mawalay;
