Despierta, mi bien despierta 
That great myth is over 
Manana is now 
Manana is now 

Dear Lord 
For too many years we have toiled 
In the fields of Northern California 
For too long those crops have controlled us 
Oh but we've worked on our knees too long 
Yes we've been on our knees too long 

Dear Lord 
You know we thought we'd never win 
With that political machine all around us 
Our hopes were lost to the injustice that surrounds us 
Ntil that man, that brave brown man proved we can win! 

Despierta, mi bien despierta 
That great myth is over 
Manana is now 
Manana is now 
Manana is now 
Manana is now
