Ancestros
We can't look back
Or change the past
But I feel you in heaven
Looking down
Prayin' freedom's
Comin' round
We can't look back
Or change the past
But I feel you in heaven
Looking down
Prayin' freedom's
Comin' round
Daddy was a little man
When they came around
Marchin' through los calles
Telling everyone they down
To start a revolution
And everyone'd be free
Everyone'd be equal
And live in harmony
El pueblo lo creía
'Cause that's everybody's dream
But their words were only lies
That led to poverty
Fake suicides
To cover the murders
keep the truth disguised
Prisoners they tortured
Martyrs of the people
Who wouldn't follow orders
Repression of all freedoms
Disguised as law and order
Dreams become nightmares
People caught in despair
Sheroes stepping up
Trying to save their families
Mother's giving up Their sons
Want them to be free
Daddy grew up fast
Living as a refugee
Coming to America
Tia held his hand
Can't forget her courage
Walking in this foreign land
Couldn't speak the language
But had to understand
Found his inner strength
Learned to be a man
Vowed when he was older
That he finally take a stand
And fight for all our freedoms
'Cause he couldn't for his land
We can't look back
Or change the past
But I feel you in heaven
Looking down
Prayin' freedom's
Comin' round
We can't look back
Or change the past
But I feel you in heaven
Looking down
Prayin' freedom's
Comin' round
Cuando fui a matanza
Aspirina no había
Era puro mentira
A Africa se iba
Quede en la Habana
Y en todas las esquinas
Veía los recuerdos
De mi isla pérdida
Calles destrozadas
La revolución maligna
Sin comida en la casa
Ayuda no había
Presente en nuestra Cuba
Libertad no hay ninguna
Los ojos no lo cierren
No creen en los que mienten
Más vidas se pierden
Orgullo sostiene
Hermanos se mueren
Pero La fe jamás se vence
No pierden coraje mi gente
Ancestros te cuidan por siempre
Tu destino no queda en muerte
Libertad para Cuba ya viene
We can't look back
Or change the past
But I feel you in heaven
Looking down
Prayin' freedom's
Comin' round
We can't look back
Or change the past
But I feel you in heaven
Looking down
Prayin' freedom's
Comin' round
Cuba rise up
Stand your ground
Por patria y vida
Ancestros te cuidan
Cuba rise up
Stand your ground
Por patria y vida
Ancestros te cuidan
Cuba rise up
Stand your ground
Por patria y vida
Ancestros te cuidan
Cuba rise up
Stand your ground
Por patria y vida
Ancestros te cuidan
We can't look back
Or change the past
But I feel you in heaven
Looking down
Prayin' freedom's
Comin' round
We can't look back
Or change the past
But I feel you in heaven
Looking down
Prayin' freedom's
Comin' round
We can't look back
Or change the past
But I feel you in heaven
Looking down
Prayin' freedom's
Comin' round
We can't look back
Or change the past
But I feel you in heaven
Looking down
Prayin' freedom's

Or change the past
