Every Peso Counts – The Hard Truth About Living in the Philippines

[Intro]
Oh, yeah...
Every day, another Philippine Peso
Every day, another mile

[Verse 1]
I wake up early in the morning
With a dream inside my head
Trying to build a little something
For the family I must feed

Working hard to make a living
Trying to make the money grow
Some days I feel like giving up
But I keep on moving on

[Pre-Chorus]
I count the hours
I count the cost
I make adjustments
When I take a loss

[Chorus]
Every peso counts
Every little bit
Working for tomorrow
Trying not to quit

When I see the money coming
I can smile a little more
But the daily struggle
Is still waiting at my door

Every peso counts
Every single day
I keep working harder
To find a better way

[Verse 2]
I check my daily budget
Before I spend a dime
Some things can wait until tomorrow
I gotta choose the right time

I don't need the fancy living
I don't need the biggest car
If I save a little money
I can make it go so far

[Pre-Chorus]
I count the hours
I count the cost
I make adjustments
When I take a loss

[Chorus]
Every peso counts
Every little bit
Working for tomorrow
Trying not to quit

When I see the money coming
I can smile a little more
But the daily struggle
Is still waiting at my door

Every peso counts
Every single day
I keep working harder
To find a better way

[Bridge]
And when I send the money home
I know just why I try
For the people that I love
For the dreams that keep me alive

Some days are like a battle
Some nights I can't sleep
But every small success
Is a promise I can keep

[Final Chorus]
Every peso counts
Every little bit
Working for tomorrow
Trying not to quit

When I see the money coming
I can smile a little more
But the daily struggle
Is still waiting at my door

Every peso counts
Every single day
I keep working harder
To find a better way

[Outro]
One more day...
One more mile...
One more peso...
One more smile...

Every peso counts.
