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 your hand

We are but grains of sand

Born through the sands of time

Given a special sign

So lets take a stand and look around us now, people

So lets 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 it's grace

Each day won at a time

Each life including mine

So lets take a stand and look around us now, people

So lets 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

(oh tell me now)

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

Eeyea-oh, Eeyea-oh, Eeyea-oh, by-yah

To a different beat

Eeyea-oh, Eeyea-oh, Eeyea-oh, by-yah

How far we've come and how far to go

Rain does not fall on one roof alone
