Maria Lyrics

The rains never came I saw my land die Maria was sleeping when I kissed her goodbye I couldnt stand the sound of my children cryin no more You get hungry you get mad A man without hope is a man that turns bad Ill try my luck in texas adios mexico Wipe away your tears maria Theres a better life for us somewhere Let me see you smile maria Close your eyes were on our way there My country was a great one once upon a time I wish I lived when you didnt need borderlines Somebody came and took the heart of my people away Now I aint worried baby come hear what I say My people gonna rise again fightin someday Ill be there to see it Ill be there to welcome them home Wipe away your tears maria Theres a better life for us somewhere Let me see you smile maria Close your eyes were on our way there I saw texas she looked so fine I met some other people same story as mine Laughin and drinkin waitin for the sun to go down We had life in our eyes as we crossed the border line Shot six good men without tellin them why How could anybody steal the only thing a man has left Wipe away your tears maria Theres a better life for us somewhere Let me see you smile maria Close your eyes were on our way there
