Alberto hits his brother on the back of the head

 looks to the north as he starts to get up

 his brother's still sleepy, grumbles "it's not light yet,"

 "if you want a new life, what's a few minutes wait?"

 darkness on the road and over the land

 into the laws and out of the hands

 from those with so much

 and no show of heart

 you'd think it'd be crazy

 to ask for a small part

 spotted an eagle in the middle of a lake

 resting on cactus and feasting on snakes

 but the waters recede as the dump closes in

 revealing a whole lake of sleeping children

 poison in the stream that flows to the sea

 out on the waves that crash within reach

 of those with so much

 and so little to fear

 you'd think it'd be crazy

 to be so far away yet so near

some say a new day will shine here

over these catastrophes and horrors of misfortune

 all across the wire

Alberto y Hermano on the coyote's trail

 and dodging the border patrol

 out in the wastelands wandering for days

 the future looks bleak with no sign of change

 darkness in the eye

 and down in the soul

 all across the wire

 to those in control

 holding so much

 with no show of heart

 you think it'd be crazy

 to watch it all fall apart

watch it all fall apart
