Oye Mi Canto (hear My Voice) Lyrics

Gloria Estefan Oye Mi Canto (hear My Voice)

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 stay
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 it 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.
I believe in love 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 the transition -
oye mi canto.

Oye oye oye mi canto - oye mi canto
