Lift your head, baby, don't be scared
Of the things that could go wrong along the way
You'll get by with a smile
You can't win at everything but you can try.
"Anak, wag ka nang umiyak. Hindi alam ni Mama ang gagawin..." Tahan niya sa sanggol na babae. Kakapanganak niya lamang at wala pa siyang alam sa ganitong bagay.
Baby, you don't have to worry
'Coz there ain't no need to hurry
No one ever said that there's an easy way
"Sadie, kapag gumraduate kang highest, ipapakilala kita sa Papa mo." Pangako niya sa sampung taong gulang na anak.
When they're closing all their doors
And they don't want you anymore
This sounds funny but I'll say it anyway.
"Mama! Aakyat kang stage! Highest ako!" Excited na sabi ni Sadie dahil siya ang Valedictorian.
"Magpapakita na ba si Papa?"
Hindi siya masagot ng ina. Pero kahit ganoon, alam niyang tutuparin ng ama ni Sadie ang pangako sa kanya noon.
Girl I'll stay through the bad times
Even if I have to fetch you everyday
We'll get by with a smile
You can never be too happy in this life.
"Kahit hindi magpakita si Papa, alam kong highest ulit ako." Nakangiting sabi ni Sadie.
Yinakap na lang niya ang anak. Malapit na itong gumraduate ng highschool.
In a world where everybody
Hates a happy ending story
It's a wonder love can make the world go round
But dont let it bring you down
"Ma, attend ka graduation ko." Sabi ni Sadie sakanya at inabot ang invitation.
"Bakit ka umiiyak?"
And turn your face into a frown
You'll get along with a little prayer and a song.
"Ngayong Valedictorian ulit ako, Ma, magpapakita na ba si Papa?"

De TodoSeñorita. No, that's not a title, pangalan ko iyon. It was just an ordinary day, I woke up and went to my graduation and delivered my valedictory speech. But coming down the stage was the biggest plot twist in my life. I am not just an ordinary girl...
