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
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
Tus lagrimas de tristeza
No me dejan olvidarte
Your tears of sadness
Will not let me forget you.
here we are in the arms of one another
and we still go on searching for each other
knowing that hate is wrong and love is right
for us tonight
when i look into your spanish eyes
i know the reason why i am alive
and the world is so beautiful tonight
chorus
it's a place i've never been
and it comes from deep within
and it's telling me that i'm about to win first prize
knowing all i have to do
is reach out my hand to you
anytime i want to look into your spanish eyes
let it be if we're nothing more than dreamers
who believe that we see no wall between us
how can they be in my heart and in my mind,
when all i could find
when i look into your spanish eyes
i know the reason why i am alive
and the world is so beautiful tonight
chorus - repeat
i loved you from a distant star
i couldn't reach that far
i can't believe how close that we are
when i look into your spanish eyes
and the world is so beautiful tonight
