Oye mi canto (hear my voice) lyrics
by Gloria Estefan

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 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)
Óyelo, óyelo (Oye mi canto)
Y me tienes 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, oye mi canto (Oye mi canto)

Oye mi canto

Oye mi canto
