Amor Era Todo

It all started united
Celebrating without rest
Anywhere, even when we fight
To the rhythm we agree (always agree)
Respect everything (yeah!)
Appreciate the different
Live feeling the strings vibrate (that’s it!)

Until something started to change
The pop folks wanted to take all the strings (oh, no)
And put a common song over a big beat
Leaving behind brotherhood
Forgetting the big truth
Without giving them credit

No one saw they were up to no good
Those they stripped away will soon be forgotten
And like show-offs, they’re already there
With autotunes, samples, and remixes, they just go
(How bad!)

I don’t play and I don’t blame the player (oh, no)
I owe myself to my kingdom (yeah!)
But I dream of the song (yeah!)
In unity with passion
I can harmonize with the voice of the heart

Love was everything (love was everything)
Love above all (love above all)
From the one who gives, the one who gives it all (and whatever you want, I’ll give)

And they took love and it was everything
Everything (they took everything)
Turn up the volume
It’ll be heard loud and clear, you’ll see (turn up the volume)
That the voices that join in (sing loud, you’ll see)
Then they stole the love
All the love, you’ll see
And they forgot us
Oh, and it was everything

I feel you
Sweetens my ear to hear so much love
I feel you
I tell you that reflection gives me back my voice (gives me back my voice)
I feel you
Give me your love without regrets (give me your love without regrets)

And even though your cruelty was tough
I had love and tenderness
'Cause I feel you

Finally, the elders thought
Seeing signs they couldn’t ignore
They had to save our vital condition
And they invented the solution

The pop folks were going to rob us
All together without a doubt
And something had to be invented
Invent it
There was only one thing to do (what?)
Take our own string and run far away
