Ten thousand bodies of the disappeared 
fall from the silver clouds of innocence 
in bitter rain of hope that drenches Earth 
in blood of independence which inspires 
new generation of children who spring 
from dragon teeth of their desire to live. 

Rising from strange land where their mothers sleep, 
they gather with books of bones in their hands 
on holy mountain of the burning bush 
to sing new hymn of ancient liberty 
that beams electric vibes of honesty 
which shatter iron walls of tyranny. 

Ten thousand faces of the disappeared 
appear again as children born from hope 
through bold Spirit of Liberty reborn 
in bodies energized by loyal faith 
in equal rights based on wise rule of law 
ensuring justice for each living soul. 

Appearing from fields of small country towns, 
they journey over rugged mountain pass 
on trail of tears to find the Promised Land 
where they assemble in library rooms 
to whisper secrets of the angel wing 
through revolution of the open hand. 

Ten thousand idols of the disappeared 
stand nameless in museum of the heart 
built from their bones in valley of the voice 
that never sings unwritten elegies 
presenting courage of their will to power 
that blooms in lonely sorrow of the flower. 

Wandering signless road of hungry fear, 
they carry individual stones of faith 
torn from dismantled walls of paradise 
to build new Eden in the wilderness 
where apple trees grow from their beating hearts 
that feed their children who play games of chase. 

Ten thousand spirits of the disappeared 
hum with new answer blowing in the wind 
that fills our bodies with courage of love 
to fight against cruel tyranny of greed 
and nourish strong democracy of trust 
uniting us with flag of liberty. 

Assembling in the star-lit ring of stones, 
they share sad tales of their struggles to live 
united in commitment of their minds 
to live in harmony of honest faith 
free from exploitation through desire 
to grow and share food from the fertile Earth.
