Show Of Hands - Santiago lyrics

From the ports of the west we sailed into the sun South America bound a journey begun Lights going out in the Barrios half a world away Oceans to cross and a course to steer all the way We bought copper and ore, silver and gold In the mines and the fileds the sweat of a people was sold Lights coming on in the Barrios a long day's labour at an end They saw the wealth of the mountains Flow all the way All the way to Santiago All the way to Santiago All the way to Santiago All the way And when the country was torn Oh we chose sides Selling arms to the dew to hold back the tide Fires burned in the Barrios We poured oil upon the flames Sending bullets and bombs, guns and planes All the way From the hearts of the west they'll fly back to the sun South American bound, the journey is done They'll be laughter and songs in the Barrios to echo half the world away When Maria y Juan y Julio Isabella Manuel y Mario Felipe Raoul y Mauricio All the way to Santiago All the way to Santiago All the way to Santiago All the way
