Anak by Fredy Aguilar
(English Version)

When you were born into this world

Your mom and dad saw a dream fulfilled
Dream come true, the answer to their prayers
You were to them a special child
Gave “em joy every time you smiled
Each time you cried, there are at your side to
care

Child you don’t know you’ll never know how far

they’d go
To give you all their love can give
To see you through and God it’s true
They’d die for you for you if they must to see
you here

How many seasons came and went

So many years have now been spent
For time ran fast and now at last you’re strong
Now what has got over you
Seem to hate you’re parents too
Do speak up your mind
Why do you find them wrong

Child you don’t know you’ll never know how far

they’d go
To give you all their love can give
To see you through and God it’s true
They’d die for you, if they must to see you near

And now you’re path has gone astray

Child you ain’t sure what to do or say
You’re so alone; no friends are in your side
And child you now break down in tears
Let them drive away your fears
Where must you do their arms stay open wide

(Child you don’t know, you will never know how

far they’d go
To give you all their love can give
To see you through and God it’s true
They’d die for you, if they must to see you
here)2x
