San Pedro's Children

From a run down cathedral that stood on the edge
Of the city
On Sundays came a sound I will always recall
It was sweet and complete and it flowed through
This cold hearted city
And it sends me a heavenly shiver to think of it now …

Come hear the
Voices of San Pedro’s children fill the air
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Joining hands and voices for the world to share

And how the cathedral would ring
When San Pedro’s children would sing
You hear them going…

[David With Children]:
La, la la la la
La, la la la la

“Vaya con dios, mi amigo, en las noches felices”
I could not understand, but the message I found
Cause the heavens seemed to translate
The words they were singing
And I know that somewhere an angel is writing it down

Come hear the
Voices of San Pedro’s children fill the air
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Joining hands and voices for the world to share

And how the cathedral would ring
When San Pedro’s children would sing
You hear them going…

[David With Children]:
La, la la la la
La, la la la la

Time presses on and they tore down that
Run down cathedral
Never will the joy ring so clear through the town
But on Sundays if you stand very still
As the sun’s coming over the hill…

I swear…

Sweet Lord…
I hear them going…

[David With Children]:
La, la la la la
La, la la la la
La, la la la la

Come hear the, come hear the…
Voices of San Pedro’s children fill the air
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Joining hands and voices for the world to share

La, la la la la la la la la la la…
La, la la la la la la la la la la…
La, la la la la la la la la la la…
La, la la la la la la la la la la…
La, la la la la la la la la la la…
