El Salvador (The Saviour)
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I wrestled with the things I saw
stepping through the door
knowing things won't be the same
when I get back on the plane
I look into your eyes
and I feel like I know you
so far removed, our lives,
but so close inside
let our worlds collide
El Salvador
El Salvador
you'll never know what you have done
you'll never know what has begun
you left your mark on me
you left your mark on me
I wrestled with the things I saw
stepping through the door, hey
these circumstances are beyond your control
I see your hands, they touch my soul
Oh, this memory I'll always hold
I know more now than I have ever, ever known before
I learned more in one day than I have learned all years before
don't let my heart grow cold,
for this I've seen and you have shown me,
beyond this space, this time...
don't let my heart grow cold,
for this I've seen and you have shown,
beyond this space, this time,
we must let our worlds collide
El Salvador
(we are so close inside)
El Salvador
(oh, let our worlds collide)
you left your mark on me
(you left your mark on me, hey)
you left your mark on me
hey, hey
El Salvador
(El Salvador)
El Salvador
(El Salvador)
you left your mark on me
(we are so close inside)
you left your mark on me
yeah, yeah
