Perla Batalla Lyrics

chorus:
The blame is ours said the red man
The blame is red said the man
The blame is ours said the black man
The blame is black said the man
The blame is ours said the white man
The blame is white said the man
The blame is ours said the yellow man
The blame is yellow said the man

We were one language
We were one home
We were one mountain
We were one poem
We were one bloodline
We were one skin
It’s been a long time
How have you been

(chorus)

Where beauty blossomed
Our eyes grew wide
Our hearts grew bitter
Ugly inside
We grew strangers
But now we’re new
Here at the crossroads
So close to you
Tell me your story
All you’ve been through

(chorus)

Oh,
Oh,
Oh, making up
For lost time
