Leo O'Kelly - Venezuela Lyrics
The heavens hang low here in Venezuela, so proud the mountains shine aThousand miles awayThe breeze blows free through the grasslands of Venezuela, we're living atThe edge of the worldWe pray for the day, we long for the night to come, through the ozone layerThe yellow star blazed onIt's only a mythology; we never know whatever is it couldn't be betterStill only our sadness holds us apart, sorrow holds us togetherWe reel in the glare here in Venezuela, through the shimmering haze weWatch the telescopes turnWe swoon in the stare here in Venezuela, we fall and wither on a shadowlessPlainNever surmount, no, never surpass, no, never surrenderHow wearily, how bravely we drive the animals homeIn this Paradise the light just burns our facesCome the day those rays will shine on through
