Enciendo Una Vela

I light a candle for the Middle East
One more candle for the Amazon
I say a prayer for South Africa
For Chico Mendez and his blue dream
I light a candle for America
For Mother Teresa and Mandela
I give thanks for the miracle of freedom
And for the men of goodwill
And for the men of goodwill

I light a candle in this darkness
For those who fought to give us peace
I light a candle in this darkness
For the children who come after
Na, na, na, na, na

I light a candle for Lennon
For all the walls that have fallen
I say a prayer for John Paul and Gorbachev
For the Whales and good Rock and Roll

I light a candle for my 16
Because behind this facade I also think
Together we will walk towards a happier world
Because this candle is also for you
Because this candle is also for you

I light a candle in this darkness
For the children who come after
For the children who come after
Oh!
