lyrics

From the ports of the West we sailed into the sun
South America bound, our journey begun
Lights going on in the Barrios,
It was half a world away
We had an ocean to cross and a course to steer
All the way

We bought copper and ore, silver and gold
And in the mines and the fields
The sweat of a people was sold
Lights going out in the Barrios
A long day's labour at an end
They saw the wealth of the mountains
Flow all the way to Santiago

All the way to Santiago
All the way to Santiago
All the way to Santiago
All the way

And when the country was torn
Oh we chose sides
Selling arms to the few to hold back the tide
Fires burned in the Barrios
We poured oil upon the flames
Sending bullets and bombs, guns and planes
All the way

From the hearts of the west
They fly back to the sun
South American bound
And now their journey is done
They'll be laughter and songs in the Barrios
To echo half the world away

When Maria y Juan y Julio
Isabella Manuel y Mario
Felipe Raoul y Mauricio
Andamio se casa

All the way to Santiago
All the way to Santiago
All the way to Santiago
All the way
