Por que la gente no sonrÃe
Porque las armas en las manos
Porque los hombres mal heridos
Dime
Dime
Porque los niños maltratados
Por que los sueños prohibidos

DÃmelo Dios quiero saber
Dime, porque te niegas a escuchar
Aun queda alguien que talvez � Rezará
DÃmelo Dios quiero saber
Donde se encuentra toda la verdad
Aun queda alguien que talvez � Lo sabrá
Dime
Porque los cielos ya no lloran
Porque los rÃos ya no cantan
Porque nos has dejado solos
Dime

Porque las manos inactivas
Porque el mendigo de la calle
Porque las bombas radiactivas

DÃmelo Dios quiero saber
Dime, porque te niegas a escuchar
Aun queda alguien que talvez�. Rezará
DÃmelo Dios quiero saber
Donde se encuentra toda la verdad
Aun queda alguien que talvez �. Lo sabrá
Pero yo noooâ?¦.
