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
