[Verse 1] Morning rides in Quezon Jeepneys painted like dreams Kids play ball in bare feet Laughing loud down side streets Sunburnt nose in Manila Titas cooking all day Coconut on the corner Sharing change "you can stay" [Chorus] Philippines You light me up Every smile a shining spark Islands in my heart My blood From the city to the dark Beautiful people Hands in the air Mga kaibigan everywhere Philippines You light me up You’re the fire in my heart [Verse 2] Rain comes fast in Cebu Still they dance in the storm Lolo hums in the doorway Says "we rise and stay warm" Halo-halo at midnight Crowds along the bay side Every face says "you’re welcome" Every hug feels like tide [Chorus] Philippines You light me up Every smile a shining spark Islands in my heart My blood From the city to the dark Beautiful people Hands in the air Mga kaibigan everywhere Philippines You light me up You’re the fire in my heart [Bridge] From Baguio breeze Down to Davao seas One big love One strong heartbeat (hey!) [Chorus] Philippines You light me up Every smile a shining spark Islands in my heart My blood From the city to the dark Beautiful people Hands in the air Mga kaibigan everywhere Philippines You light me up You’re the fire in my heart
