"A Different Beat"

[African Voices]

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]

So let's take a stand

And look around us now [people]

CHORUS:

Eeyea-oh, Eeyeah-oh, Eeyeah-oh By-yah

To a different beat

Eeyeah-oh, eeyeah-oh, eeyeah-oh By-yah

Humanity has lost face

Let's understand its grace

Each day one at a time

Each life including mine

So let's take a stand

And look around us now [people]

So lets take a stand

And look around us now [people]

Oh people, Oh people

[Chorus]

I've seen the rain fall in Africa [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]
