Should you attempt to make your own video of the #FrontlinerDanceChallenge, check out the lyrics and the powerful message it conveys:
@karlo_nograles Walang hanggang pasasalamat para sa ating #frontliners na patuloy na nagseserbisyo para sa Inang Bayan #BeatCovid19 #WeHealAsOne #BahayMunaBuhayMuna
On the ocean
Sending big waves
Into motion
Like how a single word
Can make a heart open
I might only have one match
But I can make an explosion
Wrecking balls inside my brain
I will scream them loud tonight
Can you hear my voice this time?
Take back my life song
Prove I’m alright song
My power’s turned on
Starting right now I’ll be strong
I’ll play my fight song
And I don’t really care if nobody else believes
‘Cause I’ve still got a lot of fight left in me
