Lyrics
Blue Skies over Rio
Black eyes in the night
No cause for ambition
No future in sight
No comfort in concrete
Best not to be seen
Where life has no options
No solice in dreams
Some have no mothers
Mothers no sons
Some can't stop screaming
At the sight of a gun
It's a blue day
Try begging for mercy
Try begging for life
Daughters are taken
God you know that ain't right
It's a blue day
