a different beat

let's not forget this place

let's not neglect the our race

let unity become

life on earth be one

so let me take your hand

we are but grains of sand

born throught 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. eeyeah--oh

eayeh--oh

eayeh --oh

by--yah

to a different beat

eayeh--oh

eayeh--oh

eayeh --oh

by yah

humanity's 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 oh

people oh people!

i've seen the rain

fall in africa

i've touched to snow of alaska

i've felt the mists of niagara

now i believe. in you. how far we've come

and how far to go

rain does not fall

on one roof alone.
