Fidel CastroFidel CastroA Song for the Cuban RevolutionBy: Alexis Carswell

Our fight began with the death of our brothers

A revolution crushed before it had begun

But the words of a leader still hoversHistory will absolve me, I will not run

Fidel, can you hear the voicesFidel, the sound of hearts rising upFidel, join us in fighting oppression

We ride out into the Cuban sun

*In background of chorus is chanting “Fidel, Fidel, Fidel” till the chorus is

done*

The people stand fearless beside usSuch loyalty is not shown on the other

sideFor they have no cause of which to fight

for their Hearts are cold while ours run hot with blood

Fidel, can you hear the voicesFidel, the sound of hearts rising upFidel, join us in fighting oppression

We ride out into the Cuban sun* chanting “Fidel, Fidel, Fidel”

throughout*

Tell us where will you be when alls said and done?

Old Batista is waitingThe dictator reformer he rose

Up through our army then madeA so-called “democratic constitution”

Fidel, can you hear the voicesFidel, the sound of hearts rising upFidel, join us in fighting oppression

We ride out into the Cuban sun* chanting “Fidel, Fidel, Fidel”

throughout*

These reforms turned corruptLike everything else, Batista would

Return, but corruption reignsFidel, where have you gone?

Fidel, can you hear the voicesFidel, the sound of hearts rising upFidel, join us in fighting oppression

We ride out into the Cuban sun* chanting “Fidel, Fidel, Fidel”

throughout*

They say you are goneTo Mexico and Guevara

But we know notWhen you return

Fidel, can you hear the voicesFidel, the sound of hearts rising upFidel, join us in fighting oppression

We ride out into the Cuban sun*chanting “Fidel, Fidel, Fidel” throughout*

Tell us where will you be when alls said and done?
