A Different Beat
let's not forget this place
let's not neglect our race
let unity become
life on earth be one
so let me take you 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
so 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 has lost face
let's understand its grace
each day at a time
each life including mine
so 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
Chorus
i've seen the rain fall in africa
i've touched the snows of alaska
(oh tell me now)
i've felt the mists of niagara
now i believe in you
Repeat Chorus twice
how far we've come and how far to go
rain does not fall on one roof alone
(to a different beat)
