African voices
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 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
Eeyeah oh, eayeh oh, eayeh
(and the world is turning) oh, by yeah
To a different beat
Eayeh oh, eayeh oh, eayeh
(and the world is turning) oh, by yeah
(to a different beat)
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 (Oh tell me now)
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
(to a different beat)
