Oye

Está solo, llorando
En silencio, en la oscuridad
Está soñando, deseando
Con esperanza, por la oportunidad

Escúchalos, escúchalos, ellos te llaman

Escúchalos, míralos
Escucha lo que tratan de decir
Están en búsqueda del camino

Pequeñas voces llamándote

Listen

All alone, in the darkness
They are crying out for your help
They are hoping, they are dreaming
They are asking for a chance 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
