Let's not forget this place
Let's not neglect our race
Let unity become
Life on earth be one
So let me take your hand
We are but grains of sand
Born through the winds of time
Given a special sign
So let's take a stand
And look around us now people
Let's take a stand
And look around us now people
Eeyea oh eeyea oh eeyea oh by yah
To a different beat
Eeyea oh eeyea oh eeyea oh by yah
Humanity's lost face
Let's understand its grace
Each day one at a time
Each life, including mine
Let's take a stand
And look around us now, people
So let's take a stand
And look around us now,
People oh people, oh people
Eeyea-oh, eeyea-oh, eeyea-oh, by-yah
To a different beat
Eeyea-oh, eeyea-oh, eeyea-oh, by-yah
I've seen the rain fall in africa
I've touched the snow of alaska
I've felt the mist of niagara
Now i believe in you
Eeyea-oh, eeyea-oh, eeyea-oh, by-yah
To a different beat
Eeyea-oh, eeyea-oh, eeyea-oh, by-yah
To a different beat
How far we've come
And how far to go
Rain does not fall
On one roof alone
To a different beat
