Bendico’s Shoes

Where are your shoes Bendico?
Barefoot boy running cross the bricks and stones
Who cares for you Bendico
While your mama is six days at the factory?
Where are your shoes?
Where are your shoes Bendico?

Early each morning she takes her place
There on the line she must make nine more pair
Ready to wear in a world away
Where beautiful mothers take boys to soccer gamеs

Where are your shoes Bendico?
El Niño playing outside in the rain
This world is cruel, amigo
It never misses what it never knew
Where are your shoes?
Where are your shoes Bendico?

Late in the evening she reaches home
Calling Bendico but there's not a sound
Lifting him up off the old dirt floor
She cries and she holds her only dream

Where are your shoes Bendico?
Barefoot boy running cross the bricks and stones
Who makes the rules, do you know?
Is it enough that God knows when the sparrows fall?
