Оригинален текст
I carried you in my arms
Through the hotel, to our room
The night was filled with music
Those old historic tunes
Songs of revolution
Filled our hearts and filled our souls
The fireworks exploded
Like those cannon long ago
[Chorus:]
See the kids in the candlelight
Spirits on the mend
Every golden child tonight
Feels changes on the wind
See the kids in the candlelight
See them shining bright
Innocence beyond the light
See the kids in the candlelight
Five hundred wooden saints below
Their colors scratched and dry
You say their stories should be told
But they suffered when they died
Give us your tradition
Give us hope and send us home
We'll be the cracked bell ringing
The voice of dust and bones
The pillow that you dream on
Lies rolled up on the floor
You tossed it at the TV screen
At the drug lord and his war
Thinking of that torture
Feel the tear from your eye
The white shaft of the moonlight
The warm forgiving smiles
