We are all one (SOMOS 1) – Froyber Maya & WAAO All Stars ft John McLaughlin

Cute baby dont´t cry Cute baby I'll take care of you My whole life is dedicated to you Cute baby don't cry for the world we live in Cute baby I'll take care of you I am because we are, There's something about me. there's something about you. We've always been united by the same space, the same sun. Going back to the root is not a question of identity. We are all one! No matter where you are We are all one! There are no borders that can separate us Only love will save us Love Fly without fear Together towards love Bird of my crystalline soul, fly away to another sky, elsewhere my dear fly to another sky, to another sky, my dear Hold on, give warmth to your people, do not go crazy by rumors, better times will come, plan the next step you're going to take Prepare yourself because the world that is beginning is full of new things to come. (We are one) Just one We are one Hey! Let's all go to love You're going to see that all this will pass You will see, You will see that only love will save us It's time to love and forgive each other Finally understand that we are brothers Whether it's "this" or "that" What does it matter? If we're united, we'll be fine.

Somos 1 es un proyecto desarrollado por Froyber Maya en Cali-Colombia, durante los eventos del COVID 19, entre marzo y agosto del 2020, con la colaboración de más de 60 artistas de diferentes disciplinas. 12 Países: Guinea Ecuatorial, India, Australia, Reino Unido, Japón, Italia, Argentina, Venezuela, Estados Unidos, España, Francia y en número mayoritario, Colombia. 5 continentes: África, América, Asia, Europa y Oceanía, se unieron en una sola voz, una voz sin fronteras.

Existen banderas y fronteras que debemos revisar, no sólo las físicas sino también las mentales, no sólo las impuestas por agentes externos, sino también las que nos autoimponemos.

La canción no trata de unificar o de homogeneizar, busca todo lo contrario: resaltar la riqueza y potencialidades que hay en la diversidad.

Es la primera vez que un evento no es "aislado", el COVID-19, terminó afectando a todo el planeta. Es urgente movilizarnos hacia otra manera de pensar qué significa "estar bien", dirigiéndolo hacia la sostenibilidad y al respeto por la vida. Debemos cuidarnos ahora más que nunca entre todos, debemos cuidar nuestra casa, es una, SOMOS 1.
