[MALE ENSEMBLE]
Ooh!
Ooh!
Ooh!
Ooh!

[BENIGNO SIMEON "NINOY" AQUINO JR.]
This song right here is goin' out
To all my Filipinos goin' through the struggle
You may feel like nobody 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
