Ecos De Vida

Echoes of life
Sounding from within
Singing of freedom

Echoes of a day
When their hands
Forged their life
On a soul that longed to fly

A child's smile
Free of malice
Tears of a man
Who should never have to cry

So much purity
Such a noble heart
And so easy to break

Wars came
With their breath of evil
Sowing their life
With horrors they'd like to forget

Today this song
I sing in their honor
With pride and admiration
That the world denied them

I want to sit by your side again
Hear your stories
And know once more how you are
And I don't understand why
They forgot about him
If he saw them born

Echoes of life
Sounding from within
Singing of freedom
With their soul that departs

Echoes of a day
When their hands
Will rise full of life
And their stories to tell
