Lyrics:
Di ka ba nagtataka
Ako'y nasa lansangan
At ikaw ay nasa sasakyan
Papuntang paaralan
Makatapos kaya ako
Kahit mga libro'y pinaglumaan mo
Pangarap lang ba
Pagka't mahirap lang ako
PRE-CHORUS:
Pwede bang sumali sa inyong laro
Kahit kunwa-kunwaring nag-aaral din ako
CHORUS:
Dala ba ng tadhana na tayo'y magkaiba
Sana balang araw maging tulad din kita
Paano bang sumulat, magbasa ng gaya mo
Bata alam mo ba, na bata rin ako?
Musmos pa rin ako,
Di lang napapansin
Magulang at kapatid,
Nakaasa sa akin
Bata sino ba
Ang nagtuturo't gumagabay sa'yo
May pag-asa pa bang
Maturuan din nya ako
REPEAT PRE-CHORUS, CHORUS
BRIDGE:
Sa lahat ng inaasam
Isa ang pinakagusto
Na sana'y pagtanda natin
Wala ng batang tulad ko

English Translation:
Do you ever wonder
I am by the side streets
And you are in a vehicle
on your way to school
Will I ever be able to attend school
Even if I were to have your old school books
Is this what I'm made to face
Because I am a poor child
Chorus
Will you ever accept me to play with you
Even if we pretend that I study in school like you do
Is it fate that brought us here to be so different
I hope that one day soon I may be the same as you
How is it to write, to be able to read as you do?
Child do you know that I am a child just like you?
I continue to beg
It's just that no one notices me
My family and siblings
depend on me
Child, who is it
that teaches you and watches over you?
Is there a chance
that they may teach me to?
Repeat pre-chorus, chorus
