May the light shine down upon your shoulder, Upon your shoulder, and show you the way And may you be blessed, by the hands of mercy, May the hands of mercy, show you the way Lonely child,left alone Your beautiful journey, will lead to salvation, and bring you back home May life protect you, and all that you value, May all that you value be worthy and true May every child, be able to eat, drink the fresh water, And work on the line. Lonely child, left alone Your beautiful journey will lead to salvation and bring you back home! May the light shine down upon your shoulder, Upon your shoulder, and show you the way And may you be blessed, by the hands of mercy, May the hands of mercy, show you the way Lonely child,left alone Your beautiful journey, will lead to salvation, and bring you back home! Your beautiful journey, will lead to salvation, and bring you back home, bring you back home.

Oh this city What's it doing to me? You hear something different everyday There was a little one He got caught in the sun Surveys about guns on channel 1 Everyone knows That 3 shots on the boulevard And who will be the next one that they name? Oh if nobody cares I guess we’re all gonna hear the story, And who will be the next one that they name? Oh little one You got bullied at school Those warning signs of constant cruel It's everywhere it's not rich or poor It's not black or white, it's a revolving door And everyone knows That 3 shots on the boulevard And who will be the next one that they name? Oh if nobody cares I guess we’re all gonna hear the story And who will be the next one that they name? Oh, and everyone knows That 3 shots on the boulevard And who will be the next one that they name? Oh and if nobody cares I guess we’re all gonna hear the story And who will be the next one that they name? Oh, and everyone knows That 3 shots on your boulevard And who will be the next one that they name?

We've lost our leading man Thousands dead in the hills of Pakistan Contrary to what you've been told It's oil bought and sold John Wayne you're forever gone Good old Duke I've been waiting all my life to see you again Confused friendly fire Politicians to be put on trial They make their promises And then they torture kids John Wayne you're forever gone Good old Duke I've been waiting for all my life to see you again! John Wayne you’re forever dead John Wayne I wanna see you again I wanna see you again I wanna see you again John Wayne, John Wayne! John Wayne you’re forever gone Good old Duke I’ve been waiting all my life to see you again! John Wayne you’re forever gone Good old Duke I’ve been waiting all my life to see you again Money and empire America and the absent sire fatigues and Belleville boots And some they kill in suits

It left me with guilty hands! So wait wait for me Virginia, wait for me So wait wait for me Virginia, wait for me (oooh yeah)! To my woman and my girls, hope you live to see the world A soldier is dirty work, I'll be in the Middle East just another couple weeks, I killed men, I’ve seen men killed So wait, wait for me Virginia, wait for me Oh wait, wait for me Virginia, wait for me Oh no wait for me, oh now wait for me, oh wait for me, now wait for me

Mi Amor 03:23

Girl in your window Who will save your weary mood? Blues by your boundary Summer south of Spain in June Voy a Esparar Para Siempre Mi Amor Young Anna Maria Oh, your curls they come so cute Flowing fast on the water Summer south of Spain in June Voy a Esparar para Siempre mi Amor Voy a Esparar para Siempre mi Amor Stranded alone Why do you wait? And who will arrive? Is it too late? Patiently we wonder who you love Girl in your window Just a prisoner of circumstance Freedom only a fable What is life if but a chance Voy a Esparar para Siempre mi Amor Voy a Esparar para Siempre mi Amor
