Laban, Alex

Lyrics

[Intro] Oh-oh, oh-oh Laban, Alex! From the islands, hear us say Your time is coming today [Verse 1] Alex, you step onto the court With a brave heart and a steady force Every challenge, every test You give the people all your best Young Princess, rising high With the Philippine flag in the sky Like sampaguita, pure and bright You bring our home a beautiful light [Pre-Chorus] And when the road gets hard to climb Remember, this is your time From every town, from every shore Filipinos are shouting more [Chorus] When it grows, it cannot be stopped Alex, keep rising to the top Win or loss, we’re by your side Filipino hearts are open wide Laban, Alex, laban today We’ll stand with you all the way WTA Princess, hear us say The Philippines is proud of you today [Verse 2] Every point is a story told Every comeback makes us bold You carry dreams from hand to hand A young superstar for our homeland Through the pressure, through the rain You turn the struggle into strength again And wherever your journey may go Our love will follow, let it show [Pre-Chorus] And when the road gets hard to climb Remember, this is your time From every town, from every shore Filipinos are shouting more [Chorus] When it grows, it cannot be stopped Alex, keep rising to the top Win or loss, we’re by your side Filipino hearts are open wide Laban, Alex, laban today We’ll stand with you all the way WTA Princess, hear us say The Philippines is proud of you today [Bridge] Sampaguita in the morning air A thousand voices everywhere Not just a victory we’re chasing now We believe in you, and we’re saying it loud [Final Chorus] When it grows, it cannot be stopped Alex, keep rising to the top Win or loss, we’re by your side Filipino hearts are open wide Laban, Alex, laban today We’ll stand with you all the way WTA Princess, hear us say The Philippines is proud of you today [Outro] Laban, Alex! Laban, Alex! From the Philippines, we stand as one Your rising story has just begun
