Lyrics

Minsan madarama mo kay bigat ng problema

Minsan mahihirapan ka at masasabing “di ko makakaya”

Tumingin ka lang sa langit

Baka sakaling may masumpungan

Di kaya ako’y tawagin

Malalaman mong kahit kailan


Hawak-kamay, di kita iiwan sa paglakbay

Dito sa mundong walang katiyakan

Hawak-kamay, di kita bibitawan sa paglalakbay

Sa mundo ng kawalan


Minsan madarama mo

Ang mundo’y gumuho sa ilalim ng iyong mga paa

At ang agos ng problema’y tinatangay ka

Tumingin ka lang sa langit

Baka sakaling may masumpungan


Di kaya ako’y tawagin

Malalaman mong kahit kailan


Hawak-kamay, di kita iiwan sa paglakbay

Dito sa mundong walang katiyakan

Hawak-kamay, di kita bibitawan sa paglalakbay

Sa mundo ng kawalan


Wag mong sabihin nag-iisa ka

Laging isipin meron kang kasama

Narito ako oh, Narito ako


Hawak-kamay, di kita iiwan sa paglakbay

Dito sa mundong walang katiyakan

Hawak-kamay, di kita bibitawan sa paglalakbay

Sa mundo ng kawalan


Sa mundo ng kawalan

Hawak-kamay, Hawak-kamay

Sa mundo ng kawalan
