Farinha Do Mesmo Saco

Even who you hate can be very important
Someone you use as a mirror to see yourself backwards
Even someone you don't know can be a person of faith
Someone who doesn't expect you to be who you are

Even those who bully you also have their role
Showing you how much you still have to knock on the doors of heaven
Even our humanity can have some salvation
The day everyone recognizes that everyone is a brother

One hundred and fifty thousand years ago
In the lap of mother Africa
We were all black
No money and no country
Some went north, others went south
They forgot about grandpa monkey
But we are all cut from the same cloth
We are all cut from the same cloth

Even those you despise can have your value
Person who does not give in and does not run away from life for fear of pain
Even a drunk and drug addict can be the spokesperson
Of that enlightened being who once walked among us

Even holy ignorance also has its importance
Making us grow through illness and unconsciousness
White, black, Japanese, Arab, Hindu, mulatto, Jewish
All made in the same image for the love of the same God

One hundred and fifty thousand years ago
In the lap of mother Africa
We were all black
No money and no country
Some went north, others went south
They forgot about grandpa monkey
But we are all cut from the same cloth
We are all cut from the same cloth

And North American scientists
After spending zillions of dollars and three hundred years
They came to the stupefying conclusion that genetically speaking
They are no different, worms, cows and humans
We all humans add up
Birds of a feather

Don't even think that you're alone
Right by your side there may be someone in need of your affection
Don't even think that you're alone
There may be someone right by your side
There may be someone
There may be someone

Some went north, others went south
They forgot about grandpa monkey
But we are all cut from the same cloth

Some went north, others went south
They forgot about grandpa monkey
We are all cut from the same cloth
