Paper Plane

Verse 1 - Melodic English]

(Upbeat piano, bouncing bass)

The baker’s shouting out his news today

While all the children simply run away

I’m sitting on the wall and watching time

Turning every nickel to a silver dime

I’m looking for a window to the sun

Before the day has only just begun.

​[Chorus - Melodic Tagalog/English]

Oh, erplanong papel, saan ka ba pupunta?

Lipad patungo sa langit, huwag nang mag-alala

We’re living in a world of black and white

But everything is gonna be alright

Just let the music carry you along

Inside the rhythm of a simple song.

​[Verse 2 - Rap Section (Tagalog)]

(Drum beat gets punchier, "Help!" style energy)

Yo, makinig ka sa tunog ng kalsada

Mula sa kanto hanggang sa dulo ng kabanata

Sabi ni Lolo, "Anak, huwag kang magmadali"

Ang buhay ay gulong, minsan tama, minsan mali

Labing-anim na libong pangarap ang pasan

Sa gitna ng ulan, hindi tayo naiiwanan

Parang si John at si Paul, may sariling timpla

Kahit anong gulo, tayo ang gagawa ng kanta

Sipol lang sa hangin, itapon ang kaba

Sa mundong ito, tayo ang bida, wala nang iba!

​[Bridge - English/Tagalog]

(Slows down, ethereal vocals, Lucy in the Sky vibes)

And if the sky starts falling down...

Wala tayong takot, hindi tayo malulunod.

Look at the clouds, they’re turning gold...

Ang bawat kwento ay ating isusulat, hindi maluluma.

​[Outro]

It’s gonna be alright.

Ayos lang ang lahat.

(End with a big, crashing piano chord like A Day in the Life)
