Kwento ng Pasko Lyrics
ABS-CBN 2012 Christmas Station ID theme

Hindi lang sa langit nandoon ang mga bituin
Pagnasilayan ang pag-asa mata mo rin ay may ningning
Hindi lang sa langit nandoon ang mga anghel
May nag-aalay ng kabutihan, hindi mo marinig
Ang magbigay ng sarili sa isa’t isa
Ito ang kwento ng pasko, ito’y liwanag ng mundo.

Wohoooo wohooooo

Dumarami ang mga tala, tuwing kapaskuhan
Sa atin nagmumula ang kaliwanagan
Dumarami ang mga tala, tuwing kapaskuhan
Dalhan natin ang pagpapala sa bawat tahanan

Ilang ulit man ang dilim sa buhay natin dumating
Di papanaw, di mauubos and 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
Sa atin nagmumula ang kaliwanagan
Dumarami ang mga tala, tuwing kapaskuhan
Dalhan natin ang pagpapala sa bawat tahanan

Dumarami ang mga tala, tuwing kapaskuhan
Sa atin nagmumula ang kaliwanagan
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

Wohoooo wohooooo

Dumarami ang mga tala, 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
Dumarami ang mga tala, sing dami ng magpapala
Lumiliwanag ang mundo sa kwento ng Pasko
