Desaparecidos

                                  Were you shaken, by the thunder

It will pass with the night

Don't you be frightened my child

Rest your head here awhile

I must tell you about your papa

and the price that he paid

For speaking his heart out one day

They came and took him away



Fighting here is all that remains for us now

We've stopped trying to hide our hatred inside

We're crying out loud

baby we once were so proud

Jesus where are you now



Where have you gone desparecido

I hope someone remembers your name

Where have you gone desaparecido

How can they just turn their backs to our shame

Where have you gone desaparecido

I taste your blood in the roots of this land

Where have you gone desaparecido

Mi querido, only yesterday I held your hand



There's a dark road no one speaks of

But we must live with the truth

It runs from the Plaza De Mayo

To the Rio Sumpul

They say someday, when we die, we'll ride

Wild horses in a world without end

But what do we do until then



Standing here and staring straight into the lies

They can steal all we have

But never can they steal the hope from our eyes

Baby our heart must survive

How many times must we die



Where have you gone desaparecido

I see your face in every grain of sand

Where have you gone desaparecido

Mi querido, only yesterday I held your hand
