Pray for Spanish Eyes

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

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

But 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

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

But tears on my pillow

What kind of life is this?

If God exists, then help me pray for Spanish eyes

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?

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

Lágrimas de tristeza

No me dejan olvidarte

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?
