"We are all One"

Let’s come together every boy and girl
And spread this message around the world
Raise your voice and speak the truth
We are all One
We are all One

Cause if I hurt you
I’m hurting me
And if I lie to you
I’m lying to me
Because
We are all One

And if we go to war
To kill the enemy
Is like killing one
From your family
Because
We are all One

One World
Let’s come together every boy and girl
And spread this message around the world
Raise your voice and speak the truth
We are all One
We are all One

But if I help you
I’m helping me
And if I love you
I’m loving me
Because
We are all One

So now is the time
Can’t you see
Let’s all live in harmony
Because
We are all One

This song was inspired by The Police’s “One World”(Not Three). It was written around 2006-2007 in NYC at the time I started reading about the oneness of humanity. Its production was also one of my first attempts as a producer to mix Brazilian Rhythms with a pop dance tune. On this studio version, I inserted the classic Martin Luther King’s “I have a Dream” speech on the instrumental part. I performed this song live with percussionist Ilya Janos at a concert we did at the United Nations in 2007. (Watch this performance here: <a href="http://youtu.be/WYCMlH39wa4" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">http://youtu.be/WYCMlH39wa4</a> ). I also play it at the September Concert Festival and at the Peace Vigil Concert that happened at Central Park’s Bandshell that same year.

Esta canção foi inspirada na música “One World”(Not Three) do The Police. Ela foi escrita por volta de 2006-2007 em Nova York na época em que comecei a ler sobre a unidade da humanidade. A produção dela foi também uma das minhas primeiras tentativas como produtor misturando ritmos brasileiros com uma pegada mais pop/dance. Eu inseri o famoso discurso do Martin Luther King “I have a dream” na parte do solo instrumental. Eu toquei essa canção ao vivo junto com o percussionista Ilya Janos numa apresentação que fizemos nas Nações Unidas em 2007 (Assista o vídeo aqui: <a href="http://youtu.be/WYCMlH39wa4" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">http://youtu.be/WYCMlH39wa4</a> ). Também a toquei no September Concert Festival e na Vigil Concert que acontereram no Bandshell do Central Park no mesmo ano.
