Venceremos Lyrics

A comment is passed
Like dust and glass
Full of fear
Held in this heaven and hell

Each time it's spoken
There's a fragment broken
Now the rain is falling
A train is passing
A gun is firing
Splitting out here
In the night in which we live
We'll find a way
To build a day
Sooner than tomorrow

And so it goes
As our love flows
A strength is found
In a history bold and proud

Safe in rooms
In which we find survival
Hope will tread a greater end
So we'll move my friend
Into safer light
Knowing that
Here we will win
Here we will win
Here we will win
A new world in the making
It's there for the taking
Santiago to Rio
The moment is waiting

The lost will be found
And named out aloud
Photos carried high
The lives they've denied

A lover's found passion
In the sense of re-awaking
Desire that shines
Like the pride in creating

A nation is breathing
In cities and farmland
In bedrooms and boardroom
Life held in suspension
A breath that is scented
With warmth and friendship
And we sleep here as lovers
Companeros in cover
We'll tread a greater end
And so we'll move my friend
Into safer light
Knowing that we will win
