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 winds of time
Given a special sign

So, let's take a stand and look around us now, people
Let's take a stand and look around us now, people

To a different beat

Humanity's lost face
Let's understand its grace
Each day, one at a time
Each life, including mine

Let's take a stand and look around us now, people
Let's take a stand and look around us now, people, oh, people, oh, people

To a different beat

I've seen the rain fall in Africa (Africa)
I've touched the snow of Alaska (Alaska)
I've felt the mist of Niagara (Niagara)
Now, I believe

In you

To a different beat

To a different beat

How far we've come
How far to go (to a different beat)
Rain does not fall
On one roof alone (to a different beat)
