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 then 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
