Mexican Vacation (Kids in the Candlelight)

I carried you in my armsThrough the hotel to our roomThe night was filled with musicThose old historic tunesSongs of revolutionFilled our hearts and fed our soulsAs the fireworks explodedLike those cannons long agoSee the kids in the candlelightSpirits on the mendEvery golden child tonightFeels changes on the windSee the kids in the candlelightSee 'em shining brightInnocence beyond the fightSee the kids in the candlelightFive hundred wooden saints belowThe color's cracked and dryYou said their stories should be toldDid they suffer when they died?Give us your traditionGive us hope and send us homeWe'll be the cracked bells tollingThe voice of dust and bonesSee the kids in the candlelightSpirits on the mendEvery golden child tonightFeels changes on the windSee the kids in the candlelightSee 'em shining brightInnocence beyond the fightSee the kids in the candlelightThe pillow that you dream onLies rolled up on the floorYou tossed it at the TV screenAt the drug lord and his warThinking of the courtyardForced a tear from your eyesThe white shirts in the moonlightThe warm forgiving smilesSee the kids in the candlelightSpirits on the mendEvery golden child tonightFeels changes on the windSee the kids in the candlelightSee 'em shining brightInnocence beyond the fightSee the kids in the candlelightYea, yea, yea
