Oye (Listen) …………………………………….……………………….by Jim Papoulis South Coast Children’s Chorus

Spanish text translation: All alone, in the darkness

They are crying out for your help They are hoping, they are dreaming, they are asking, for a change to be heard.

Are you listening, can you hear their cries? They are watching, they are listening They are searching to find their way Can you see them, can you hear them calling What their voices are trying to say.
