Oye Mi Canto (Hear My Voice)

(Album: Cuts Both Ways - 1989)

Take me only for what I am
You've got a right to speak your mind
You've gotta take a stand
No one has the right to say
This is right or that is wrong
It isn't just one way

Find common ground
Go in between
Things aren't always what they seem

Someday it'll be alright
Changes happen overnight

People, let's give each other room
If we're gonna work it out
We better make it soon
Love is, love is such a common word
When it's pride we mistake for love
Isn't that absurd

Why always take the upper hand
It's better to understand

Someday it'll be alright
Changes happen overnight
Someday it'll be alright
Changes happen overnight

Oye mi canto
(Oye mi canto)
(Oye mi canto)

I believe in love but with no conditions
(Oye mi canto)
And giving in sometimes doesn't make it submission
(Oye mi canto)
Hate is so common it's almost tradition
(Oye mi canto)
Come on let's leave it behind and make that transition
(Oye mi canto)

(Oye mi canto)
(Oye mi canto)
(Oye mi canto)
(Oye mi canto)

Oye, oye, oye mi canto
(Oye mi canto)
Óyelo, óyelo
(Oye mi canto)
Que me tiene que oír, oye este canto
(Oye mi canto)
Óyelo, oye mi canto
(Oye mi canto)

(Oye mi canto)
Oye mi canción es del corazón
(Oye mi canto)

(Oye mi canto)
Oye, oye mi canto
Oye mi canto
Oye mi canto
