PYAP Cainta Theme Song

KABATAAN PAG-ASA KA

Katulad mo ako ay nangangarap din

Ang bawa’t pagkakataon pilit aabutin

Sa paglipas ng mga araw aking haharapin
Haharapin, tatag ko’y susubukin...

Hindi mahirap kung ito’y minimithi
Kasabay ng bawa’t kilos mo ang pagsisikap mo
Kung ika’y magtitiwala ang nais mo’y magagawa

Ang pagod mo may bungang pagpapala...
.

Magkabalikat tayong bubuo nitong mundo

katulad kong kabataan pangarap ay aking pagsisikapan

Bawa’t isa’y mahalaga, kabataan Bumangon ka…
PAG-ASA KA, PAG-ASA KA…

Hinubog ng bagong loob itong lipi

Hamon ng bawa’t panahon lalong sumisidhi

Dugo mong kabataan, Pinoy tayo kung bansagan

PAG-ASA KA, higit ng ating bayan…

Magkabalikat tayong bubuo nitong mundo
Ang katulad kong kabataan, pangarap ay aking pagsisikapan
Ikaw, Ako'y mahalaga, Kabataan Manalig ka "PAG-ASA KA"
SA DIYOS... "MANALIG KA!"
