Como Una Plegaria (Por América Del Sur)

Like a prayer
that climbs high to the sky
in the south where the cross,
guides us with its light
Like a waterfall,
that flows down the river
to kiss the sea
and starts again
Lead me to the path,
that saves the mountain
shelter me in the depths
of the soul of the jungle.

I want to hear the song
that whispers in the wind
that carries away the cries
of so much suffering
America: wake up from your dream
there's no worse evil
than chaining yourself to pain
Spread your wings
and take to the skies
I can't wait any longer,
the war has to stop
Like a prayer,
for South America.

Like a thunderclap,
that calms the storm
show me the secret
that the forest keeps
we're like flames
of the same fire
that never stops burning
nothing can hold us back
Like a prayer,
for South America.
