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   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   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      Tus lagrimas de tristeza   No me dejan olvidarte   Your tears of sadness   Will not let me forget you      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?
