lyrics

The heavens hang low here in Venezuela
So proud the mountains shine a thousand miles away
The breeze blows free through the grasslands of Venezuela
We're living at the edge of the world
We pray for the day, we long for the night to come
Through the ozone layer the yellow star blazed on

It's only a mythology; we never know whatever is
It couldn't be better
Still only our sadness holds us apart
Sorrow holds us together

We reel in the glare here in Venezuela
Through the shimmering haze we watch the telescopes turn
We swoon in the stare here in Venezuela
We fall and wither on a shadowless plain

Never surmount no, never surpass no, never surrender
How wearily, how bravely we drive the animals home
In this paradise the light just burns our faces
Come the day those rays will shine on through
