[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 though 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, Eeyea-oh, by-yah
To a different beat
Eeyea-oh, Eeyea-oh, by-yah

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

So let's take a stand
And look around us now, people
So let's take a stand,
And look around us now, people
Oh people, oh people

[Chorus]
I've seen the rain fall in 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 we go
Rain does not fall on one roof alone
