Tim Maia – Let's Have a Ball Tonight (Official Audio)

Tim was the man. As a teenager he dreamed of making it big in the United States and immigrated to America dead set on never returning home again. However, just a few years later, he got kicked out of the country for smoking pot in a stolen car. After a few years back in Brazil he revolutionized Brazilian popular music and became one of the greatest soul artists of his lifetime. He married five times (or did he?), served multiple prison sentences (that's for sure), and at the height of his fame joined that UFO-obsessed religious cult -- how about that?

LYRICS:

There are so many politicians
Trying hard to find the way
And peace is not so far
And yet, it seems that nobody can see that

Love is all that you’re needing
Love is all that you have to do
Love is really the answer
Why waste time with war?

There are so many conversations
Meeting parties and cocktails
To preserve peace on earth
But they never find the way
You know why?

Love is really the answer
This, you have to agree
It will be celebration
When all people be free

And if you keep doing things like that
Peace gonna be far
Deep and over
Far from over
There are so many politicians
Trying hard to find the way
To preserve peace on earth
But they never found the way
Do you know why?

There are so many politicians
Trying hard to find the way
And peace is not so far
And yet, it seems that nobody can see that

Love is all that you’re needing
Love is all that you have to do
Love is really the answer
Why waste time with war?

There are so many conversations
Meeting parties and cocktails
To preserve peace on earth
But they never find the way
You know why?

Love is really the answer
This, you have to agree
It will be celebration
When all people be free

And if you keep doing things like that
Peace gonna be far
Deep and over
Far from over

There are so many people trying
To preserve peace on earth
It seems that nobody can see
But yet it’s not so difficult to see
It’s fundamental necessary to have love in your life
All the people living together
It’s going to be like 4th of July
Let’s have a ball tonight (Repeat x 3)
