They came 500 years ago
The spoke of old in mexico
Killing people one by one
Only talking with their guns
Brave men locked on iron chains
All young mothers sold as slaves
Babies brying through their night
Will they ever see the light
Gold and dreams are in Eldorado
I have drowned in
seas of red and black
Gold and dreams are in Eldorado
May come true
but only in your heart
Shout and your hands will be free
And he shall live in liberty
Oh will mankind ever learn
Shall they hold to iron burn
Gold and dreams are in Eldorado
I have drowned in
seas of red and black
Gold and dreams are in Eldorado
May come true
but only in your heart
In the history of man
The search for happiness
has never ended
But if the gates of eden
were ever closed
for those conquistdors
who are only hungry for gold
for power and might
Because the real Eldorado
isn't made of diamond or gold
it's the immortal
yearning for peace
love and understanding
in the hearts of everyone
Gold and dreams are in Eldorado
I have drowned in
seas of red and black
Gold and dreams are in Eldorado
May come true but
only in your heart
Gold and dreams are in Eldorado
I have drowned in
seas of red and black
Gold and dreams are in Eldorado
