Pasko sa Krisis Pasko na naman Pero gulo ang nararanasan Ano ang tunay na kahulugan Ng Pasko sa ating bayan? Mga taong nag-aasam Ng kapayapaan sa kapaskuhan Hindi man lang nakamtan Ang kanilang inaasahan Ang Pasko sa krisis Hindi namin ninanais Hindi rin namin inaasahan Ang mga bilihi'y magsitaasan Ngunit gaano man kalala Ang krisis ng bansa Basta may pagmamahalan Ang bawat isa Tiyak na sasaya Ang ating pagsasama At kung may pagkakaisa Malaki ang pag-asa Kaya tayo na't umpisahan na Pagmamahalan, pagsasama Pagkakaisa't kapayapaan Para sa pag-angat ng ating bayan!
