ABS-CBN Christmas Station ID 2012 Theme Lyrics: Robert Labayen
Music: Marcus Davis Jr. and Amber Davis
Directed by: Paolo Ramos
Wohohoh (2x)
Hindi lang sa langit nandon ang mga bituin
Pag nasilayan ang pag-asa mata mo rin ay may ningning
At hindi lang sa langit nandon ang mga anghel
May nag-aalay ng kabutihan hindi mo man hingin
Ang magbigay ng sarili sa isa’t-isa
Ito ang kwento ng Pasko, ito’y liwanag ng mundo
Wohohoh (7x)
Dumarami ang mga tala tuwing Kapaskuhan
Sa atin nagmumula ang kaliwanagan
Dumarami ang mga tala tuwing Kapaskuhan
Dalhin natin ang pagpapala sa bawat tahanan
Ilang ulit man ang dilim sa buhay natin dumating
Di papanaw di mauubos ang mga bituin
Ang magbigay ng sarili sa isa’t-isa
Ito ang kwento ng Pasko, ito’y liwanag ng mundo
Dumarami ang mga tala tuwing Kapaskuhan (tuwing Kapaskuhan)
Sa atin nagmumula ang kaliwanagan
Dumarami ang mga tala tuwing Kapaskuhan
Dalhin natin ang pagpapala sa bawat tahanan
Dumarami ang mga tala tuwing Kapaskuhan
Sa atin nagmumula ang kaliwanagan (yeah)
Dumarami ang mga tala tuwing Kapaskuhan
Sa atin nagmumula ang kaliwanagan
Ang liwanag ng Pasko ay kwento ng katuparan
Ng pangako ng Diyos sa buong sanlibutan
Wohohoh (7x)
Dumarami ang mga tala tuwing Kapaskuhan (tuwing Kapaskuhan)
Sa atin (sa atin) nagmumula (nagmumula) ang kaliwanagan
Dumarami (dumarami) ang mga tala tuwing Kapaskuhan (tuwing Kapaskuhan)
Dalhin natin (dalhin natin) ang pagpapala sa bawat tahanan (wohohoh)
Dumarami (dumarami) ang mga tala tuwing Kapaskuhan (tuwing Kapaskuhan)
Sa atin nagmumula ang kaliwanagan (kaliwanagan...hoohooo)
Dumarami ang mga tala singdami ng pagpapala (singdami ng pagpapala)
Magliliwanag ang mundo sa kwento ng Pasko (sa kwento ng Pasko)
