Lyrics: Ang buhay minsa'y nakapagtataka Kahit ating sikapin na ito ay maiba Sa bandang huli, babalik muli Sa kung saan lahat nagsimula Ang buhay minsa'y nakalilito Pilitin mang baguhin ang kanyang anyo Lahat ma'y palitan, baligtari't takpan Lilitaw ang tunay loob nito Mara Clara... Sinilang may kanya-kanyang palad Datapwa't kapalaran ay ibinaligtad Ipinagpalit, di ginawang huwad... Taya ng buhay ay mahirap tantsahin At kahit minsan ay ating hugisin Sa anyong gusto, anyong totoo Sa bandang huli, magtatagumpay din Mara Clara... Ika'y ako ngayon at ako'y ikaw Katotohanan, di man nakatanaw Sa agos ng buhay, tiyak ay lilitaw Mara Clara... Katotohana'y lilitaw #MaraClara #JudyAnnSantos #G
