Lyrics[]
Sa lahat ng taong nagdaan
Kasiyahan o kalungkutan
Always there for each other
Kinaya natin together
Forever, forever, family is forever
Pinag-isa tayo ng Diyos at pag-ibig
May iisang puso at iisang tinig
Forever, forever, family is forever
Forever, forever, family is forever
Kung kailan pinakamadilim
Mga tala ay mas nagniningning
Gaano man kakapal ang ulap
Sa likod nito ay may liwanag
Ang liwanag na ito, nasa 'ting lahat
May sinag ang bawat pusong bukas
Sa init ng mga yakap
Maghihilom ang lahat ng sugat
Ang nagsindi nitong ilaw
Walang iba kundi Ikaw
Salamat sa liwanag Mo
Muling magkakakulay ang Pasko
Forever, forever, family is forever
Forever, forever, family is forever
Salamat sa pag-ibig na subok ng panahon
Dala nito'y liwanag lalo na sa ngayon
Ngayong Pasko'y pag-ibig
Ang kailangan ng daigdig
Kay ganda nang lahat
If we will just love
Ngayong Pasko'y pag-ibig
Ang kailangan ng daigdig
Kay ganda nang lahat
If we will just love
If we will just love
Sa mundong maingay
Ikaw ang aking pahinga
Sa yakap mong kumakalma
Lahat ay nagiging payapa
Lagi akong uuwi sa'yo
Sa puso mo, kung sa'n laging Pasko
Pag-ibig, pag-asa, at saya
'Yan ang lagi mong dala
Sa pamilya mo ang tunay na Pasko
Family is love, family is love
Forever, forever, family is forever
Sa lahat pang darating
Ano pa man ang harapin
Always there for each other
Kinaya natin together
Forever, forever, family is forever
Pinag-isa tayo ng Diyos at pag-ibig
May iisang puso at iisang tinig
Forever, forever, family is forever
Forever, forever, family is forever
Pinag-isa tayo ng Diyos at pag-ibig
May iisang puso at iisang tinig
Forever, forever, family is forever
Forever, forever, family is forever
Ang liwanag sa ating tahanan
Diyos ang pinagmumulan
Pinag-isa tayo ng Diyos at pag-ibig
May iisang puso at iisang tinig
Forever, forever, family is forever
Forever, forever, family is forever
Pinag-isa tayo ng Diyos at pag-ibig
May iisang puso at iisang tinig
Forever, forever, family is forever
Forever, forever, family is forever
Ang nagsindi nitong ilaw
(Kay ganda ng lahat)
Walang iba kundi ikaw
(Thank you, thank you for the love)
Salamat sa liwanag mo
(Salamat, salamat)
Muling magkakakulay ang Pasko
(Muling magkakakulay ang Pasko)
Pinag-isa tayo ng Diyos at pag-ibig
(Kay ganda ng lahat)
May iisang puso at iisang tinig
(Thank you, thank you for the love)
Forever, forever, family is forever
(Family is love, family is love)
Forever, forever, family is forever
Pinag-isa tayo ng Diyos at pag-ibig
May iisang puso at iisang tinig
Forever, forever, family is forever
Forever, (family is forever) forever, family is forever
Forever, forever, family is forever
