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 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,
so let’s take a stand and look around us now,
people oh people oh people!
Eeyeah–oh, eayeh–oh, eayeh — oh, by–yah
To a different beat
Eayeh–oh, eayeh–oh, eayeh–oh, by yah
I’ve seen the rain fall in Africa (Africa)
I’ve touched to snow of Alaska (Oh tell me now…)
I’ve felt the mists of Niagara
Now I believe…
In you..
Eeyeah–oh, eayeh–oh, eayeh — oh, by–yah
To a different beat
Eayeh–oh, eayeh–oh, eayeh–oh, by yah
To a different beat
repeat chorus to fade
How far we’ve come
and how far to go
rain does not fall
on one roof alone..(to a different beat)..
