Bendico’s Shoes

Lyrics

Where are your shoes Bendico? Barefoot boy running cross the bricks and stones Who cares for you Bendico While your mama is six days at the factory? Where are your shoes? Where are your shoes Bendico? Early each morning she takes her place There on the line she must make nine more pair Ready to wear in a world away Where beautiful mothers take boys to soccer gamеs Where are your shoes Bendico? El Niño playing outside in the rain This world is cruel, amigo It never misses what it never knew Where are your shoes? Where are your shoes Bendico? Late in the evening she reaches home Calling Bendico but there's not a sound Lifting him up off the old dirt floor She cries and she holds her only dream Where are your shoes Bendico? Barefoot boy running cross the bricks and stones Who makes the rules, do you know? Is it enough that God knows when the sparrows fall?
