Dapitan always in my heart
Grew up that’s always the start
Three apartments all in a row
Played hide and seek long time ago
With siblings, cousins, friends and foe
Sharing with them my highs and low
Shirts and shoes we always borrow
Days of innocense as we know
Made us who we are and smart
So sad that now we’re all apart*
