The night is falling on a tiny valley in Peru

An indio boy is prayin' to the stars of silver-blue

'Cause's so alone - mummy's gone

Gone into the land of no return

Four white sheep and a little dog is all she left behind

He's playin' on a wooden pipe all songs he's got in mind

Songs that mummy sang - bringing back again

Bringing back the days of love and joy

Indio boy, you got to learn to know

Little indio boy, that life is always so

Let the morning sun shine into your heart

And the world's no longer dark - indio boy

Someday when you're grown up you'll get children of your own

Tell them it ain't no shame just to be a poor man's son

With a heart of gold - an honest soul

You will stand the evil of the world

Indio boy, you got to learn to know

Little indio boy, that life is always so

Let the morning sun shine into your heart

And the world's no longer dark - indio boy
