[Verse 1]
I watched the sunrise over Medellín
In that asylum I wrote down what I'd seen
Hallucinations of revolution, see
The fall of fascism and the hanging of a queen

[Chorus]
I was there
I was there
I was there with you
I was there
I was there
I was there with you

[Verse 2]
Rising up on the horizon as I woke
Countless pillars of the darkest black smoke
As those on one side inhaled the air they choked
Those on the other side filled their lungs with hope

[Chorus]
I was thеre
I was there
I was thеre with you
I was there
I was there
I was there with you
[Verse 3]
The streets I walked were devoured by flame
The children danced around, their parents did the same
Out marched the ruling class, blindfolded and lame
No final words were heard as the coup d'état took aim

[Chorus]
I was there
I was there
I was there with you
I was there
I was there
I was there with you

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
I was there
I was there
I was there with you
I was there
I was there
I was there with you
