Song of Juan José Gerardi Conedera Lyrics

Bishop of the Brave

[Intro]
(Mm)
(Huu)
(Peace)

[Verse 1]
Quiet breath among the highlands
A record carved in stone
He walked beside the weeping widows
Until they weren’t alone

[Pre-Chorus]
Ancient hills
Deepest scars
Burning truth
Hidden stars

[Chorus]
Juan José Gerardi
Guardian of the names
Juan José Gerardi
Lifting up the light
Juan José Gerardi
Voice above the flames
Keeping memory alive

[Verse 2]
Tattered cloth and dusty journals
Resting in his hand
He saw the dignity in faces
Broken on the land

[Pre-Chorus]
Shadows fade
Stories wake
Justice heals
Bridges make

[Chorus]
Juan José Gerardi
Guardian of the names
Juan José Gerardi
Lifting up the light
Juan José Gerardi
Voice above the flames
Keeping memory alive

[Bridge]
Never again the silence
Never again the fear
Never again the shadows
The path is finally clear

[Chorus]
Juan José Gerardi
Guardian of the names
Juan José Gerardi
Lifting up the light
Juan José Gerardi
Voice above the flames
Keeping memory alive
