When Zapata Rides Again Studio Version

Words and Music fully written and composed by Erich Beck Praying the spirit of Zapata WILL ride again, for both the people of Mexico AND the people of the world. (The Acteal Massacre was a real and tragic event). LYRICS Emilio was just a poor boy, from the fields of Mexico But his mother told him long ago, son, there’s something you must know Though your feet are bare and your skin is burnt by the hot Chiapan sun Your great grandfather was Zapata, and his blood within you runs Though poor, my son, you’re young and strong, & his fire within you burns. And as the young man grew & he worked the land, he saw what Zapata saw He felt the ache of the empty plate the poor have always known before While the rich men live in splendour from the fields they’ve never tilled And Zapata’s anger rose again until the young man’s heart was filled And on his mother’s grave he swore, he’d fight Zapata’s war. CHORUS He said the spirit of Zapata will ride where-ever injustice reigns It will fill the hearts of the young and strong and make them rise again From the bombed out streets of Gaza to the Puerto Rican slums A time will come when the people’s voice will drown out the soldiers’ drums A time that calls to the young and strong and makes them ride again A time will come when the people’s voice will drive out the rich men’s guns. And Emilio joined the Zapatistas, that fight for the common man They formed the communes & they built the schools that will help them free the land Though the soldiers come from the cities that the rich men claim to run The Zapatistas fight for peace but they will never bow to the gun And the Zapatistas will never stop until the people’s rights are won Then in nineteen ninety seven, upon the sabbath day The rich men’s killers came to Acteal while the people prayed 30 men and women, 15 children, were murdered on that day And Emilio’s anger rose again, as he felt the people’s pain On his mother’s grave he swore, they’d win Zapata’s war CHORUS He said the spirit of Zapata must ride where-ever injustice reigns It must fill the hearts of the young and strong and make them rise again From the bombed out streets of Gaza to the Puerto Rican slums A time will come when the people’s voice will drown out the soldiers’ drums A time that calls to the young and strong and makes them ride again A time will come when the people’s voice will drive out the rich men’s guns. And sometimes at night when the warm wind blows & the full moon starts to rise They say the ghost of Zapata still rides across the starry skies And then the senioritas sing the songs of long ago Praying Zapata will ride his white horse again for the People of Mexico And then the people join to sing those songs of long ago Praying the voice of justice will sing again for the people of Mexico That the voice of justice will speak at last to the people of the world.
