Forum Heroes' Chronicles

I was born in the desert
I been down for years
Jesus, come closer
I think my time is near

And I've traveled over
Dry earth and floods
Hell and high water
To bring you my love

Climbed over mountains
Travelled the sea
Cast down off heaven
Cast down on my knees

I've laid with the devil
Cursed god above
Forsaken heaven
To bring you my love...

I am a poor wayfaring stranger
While traveling through this world of woe
Yet there's no sickness, toil or danger
In that bright world yo which I go

I'm going there to see my father
I'm going there no more to ram
I'm only going over Jordan
I'm only going over home

I know dark clouds will gather around me
I know my way is rough and steep
Yet beauteous fields lie just before me
Where God's redeemed their vigils keep

I'm going there to my mother
She said she'd meet me when I come
I'm only going over Jordan
I'm only going over me

I'm a poor lonesome cowboy
I'm a long long way from home
And this poor lonesome cowboy
Has got a long long way to roam
Over mountains over prairies
From dawn till day is done
My horse and me keep riding
Into the setting sun

I am a poor wayfaring stranger,
While traveling through this world of woe.
Yet there’s no sickness, toil nor danger
In that bright world to which I go.
I’m going there to see my Father;
I’m going there no more to roam.

Refrain

I’m only going over Jordan,
I’m only going over home.

I know dark clouds will gather round me;
I know my way is rough and steep.
But golden fields lie out before me
Where God’s redeemed shall ever sleep.
I’m going there to see my mother,
She said she’d meet me when I come.

Refrain

I’ll soon be free from every trial,
My body sleep in the churchyard;
I’ll drop the cross of self denial
And enter on my great reward.
I’m going there to see my Savior,
To sing His praise forevermore.

Refrain

A Chico Méndez lo mataron
era un defensor y un ángel
de toda la Amazonia
El murió a sangre fría
lo sabía Collor de Melo
y también la policía
Cuando los ángeles lloran
lluvia cae sobre la aldea
lluvia sobre el campanario
pues alguien murió

Estribillo (refrain)

Un ángel cayó
un ángel murió
un ángel se fue
y no volverá

Cuando el asesino huía
Chico Méndez se moría
la selva se ahogaba en llanto
El dejó dos lindos críos
una esposa valerosa
y una selva en agonía
Cuando los ángeles lloran
es por cada árbol que muere
cada estrella que se apaga
ho...no...noo..

Estribillo (refrain)

Un ángel cayó
un ángel murió
un ángel se fue
se fue volando en madrugada

Cuando los ángeles lloran
Cuando los ángeles lloran
lloverá
Cuando los ángeles lloran
Cuando los ángeles lloran
lloverá
