| He could barely remember | |
| When the fighting began | |
| It was early September | |
| When he lost his old man | |
| Soon (the time) ??? | |
| And (to start) a new life | |
| How it seems so unfair | |
| When they (gave him a gun and a knife) | |
| So he fights with a gun in his hand | |
| For a reason he can't understand | |
| Fights with a gun in his hand | |
| For (the) freedom (of their land) | |
| Chorus: | |
| Can you hear the crying out | |
| All the people in El Salvador | |
| Can you hear a distant shout | |
| From the neonle in El Salvador | |
| (cross your heart and hope to die) | |
| For the people in El Salvador | |
| Still they kill not knowing why | |
| All the people in El Salvador | |
| As he stares at the ceiling | |
| He thinks back right away | |
| It was (him that was) feeling | |
| ??? ??? those weary days | |
| As he stares at the white tower | |
| Tears roll down on his face | |
| And they run through without | |
| That ??? every place | |
| Ch: | |
| Can you hear them cry? | |
| Can you see them die? | |
| Can you tell me why? Oh no | |
| See them die, hear them cry, tell me why | |
