My Men

Living in a foreign land of aliens, 
I desire you, I desire you, my men. 

Men who are silenced by sunrises, 
who make noises at car races. 
Men who teach their children bicycle, 
who make love like angel Michael, 
I desire you, I desire you, my men. 

Living in a foreign land of aliens, 
I desire you, I desire you, my men. 

Men who shed a tear for their neighbors, 
injustice who fight with their labors. 
Men who earn a living with justice, 
who give up their lives with bliss, 
I desire you, I desire you, my men. 

Living in a foreign land of aliens, 
I desire you, I desire you, my men. 

Men who live with love in my heart, 
who with patience wait for the Lord. 
Men who wash their souls all the day, 
who go to churches in order to pray, 
I desire you, I desire you, my men. 

Living in a foreign land of aliens, 
I desire you, I desire you, my men.
