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]
