Lyrics

The Long Stairs (Gamboa)

Another one is gone to rest
just another early grave
with a bullet in the heart
The bell is tolling every morning
for those gone away, away from our lives
I'm hearing mothers crying lonely
needing solace in their hearts
Tell me who decides our fate
Won't you try to open your eyes?
Open your eyes!
Coming from school and singing
a little boy is walking down there
waiting for the daily bus
Stepping on the bus steps
flying bullets never care how young you are
Once again the bell is tolling
but no one looks surprised
Latin America bleeds and cries

I believe this long way never ends
I believe the sun will rise again
I believe my friend is time to wake
cause I feel we'll cry forever while we walk
all the long stairs
