[male ensemble]
ohhhhh!

[benigno simeon “ninoy” aquino jr.]
this song right here is goin’ out
to all my filipinos goin’ through the struggle
you may feel like n-body 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, yah!
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
