Te estoy buscando a América y temo no encontrarla
Tus huellas se han perdido entre la oscuridad
Te estoy llamando América pero no me respondes
Te han desaparecido los que temen la verdad

Envueltos entre sombras, negamos es cierto
Mientras no haya justicia, jamás tendremos paz
Viviendo dictaduras, te busco y no te encuentro
Tu torturado cuerpo, no saben donde esta

Si es sueno de uno es sueno de todos
Romper la cadena y echarnos a andar
Tengamos confianza para adelante mi raza
A salvar el tiempo por lo que vendrá

Te han secuestrado América y amordazado tu boca
Y a nosotros nos toca ponerte en libertad
Te estoy llamando América nuestro futuro espera
Y antes que se nos muera te vamos a encontrar

Te estoy buscando América
Te estoy llamando América, oh! oh!
