Eldorado

They came five hundred years ago They stole the gold of Mexico Killed the people one by one Only talking with their guns Brave men locked on iron chains All young mothers sold as slaves Babies crying through the night Will they ever see the light? Golden dreams of Eldorado All have drowned in seas of pain and blood Golden dreams of Eldorado May come true, but only in your heart Reach out your hands and you'll be free Then we shall live in liberty Oh, will mankind ever learn? Shall the whole world die and burn? Golden dreams of Eldorado All have drowned in seas of pain and blood Golden dreams of Eldorado May come true, but only in your heart Within the memory of man The search for happiness has never ended But the gates of Eden will ever be closed For those conquistadors who are only hungry for power and might Because the real Eldorado isn't made out of diamonds and gold It's the immortal yearning for peace, love, and understanding In the hearts of everyone Golden dreams of Eldorado All have drowned in seas of pain and blood Golden dreams of Eldorado May come true, but only in your heart Golden dreams of Eldorado All have drowned in seas of pain and blood Golden dreams of Eldorado May come true, but only in your heart Golden dreams of Eldorado All have drowned in seas of pain and blood
