James Dean Bradfield - The Boy From Plantation Lyrics

I knew when I cradled you
That you were gonna shine
As your hand held so tightly
Forever I thought onto mine

When you'd cry I'd wrap you in a blanket
And sing you my songs
All I knew to right the wrongs
As we held onto love
As we held onto love

Victor Lidio Jara Martinez
The boy from the plantation they could not repress
Who strummed and sung to dreams and injustice
Victor Lidio Jara Martinez

I descended into hell
When I lost your smile
But I was always there
Even in exile

In the cadence of the wind
Its throat in your strings
Its lungs upon your tongue
Rivers of us join and run
They join and run


Victor Lidio Jara Martinez
The boy from the plantation they could not repress
Who strummed and sung to dreams and injustice
Victor Lidio Jara Martinez
