Manifesto in the Light

[Chorus]
Leopoldo López Leopoldo López your righteousness rose
Through the house arrest
Through the cold cell
For the vote for the people for the civic square
Democracy’s fighter beyond despair

[Verse 1]
Leopoldo López walked Caracas streets
With a silk flag
Instead of a blade
Free elections rule of law he called to them
Single steady voice
When the noise grew

[Chorus]
Leopoldo López Leopoldo López your righteousness rose
Through the house arrest
Through the cold cell
For the vote for the people for the civic square
Democracy’s fighter beyond despair

[Verse 2]
He founded Voluntad Popular the people’s will
Wrote out manifestos
By a windowsill
No to tyranny yes to the morning light
Participation is ours
Our only right

[Chorus]
Leopoldo López Leopoldo López your righteousness rose
Through the house arrest
Through the cold cell
For the vote for the people for the civic square
Democracy’s fighter beyond despair

[Bridge]
Righteousness is refusing to hide
When the state says kneel
You stand with pride
Not revenge but reform not chaos but law
Leopoldo López the conscience
They couldn’t claw

[Chorus]
Leopoldo López Leopoldo López your righteousness rose
Through the house arrest
Through the cold cell
For the vote for the people for the civic square
Democracy’s fighter beyond despair
