I know for sure his heart is here with me

Though I wish him back, I know he cannot see

My hands trembling

I know he hears me sing



Chorus:



I light this candle and watch it throw

Tears on my pillow

And if there is a Christ

He'll come tonight

To pray for Spanish eyes

And if I have nothing left to show

Tears on my pillow

What kind of life is this

If God exists

Then help me pray for Spanish eyes



He had to fight like all the rest

In the barrio all the streets are paved with fear

I don't understand

At least he was a man



(chorus)



Intermediate:



How many lives will they have to take?

How much heartache?

How many suns will they have to burn?

Spanish eyes

When will they ever learn?



You were not the Maravilla in our minds

We were proud to fight but we cannot win this blind

Stand your guns against the wall

Who's next in line to fall



(chorus)



(Spoken:)

Tus lagrimas de tristeza

No me dejan olvidarte

Your tears of sadness

Will not let me forget you
