Santiago |
| 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 |
