A Different Beat

[african voices]

Stephen: let's not forget this place

Let's not neglect our race

Let unity become

Life on earth be one



Stephen: so let me take your hand

We are but grains of sand

Born throught the winds of time

Given a special sign



Ronan: so let's take a stand

And look around us now, people

So let's take a stand

And look around us now, people...



All: eeyeah--oh, eayeh--oh, eayeh

Ronan: (and the world is turning)

All: --oh, by--yah

Stephen: to a different beat

All: eeyeah--oh, eayeh--oh, eayeh

Ronan: (and the world is turning)

All: --oh, by--yah

Stephen: (to a different beat)



Stephen: humanity's lost face

Let's understand its grace

Each day one at a time

Each life including mine



Ronan: so let's take a stand

And look around us now,

People oh, people oh people!



All: eeyeah--oh, eayeh--oh, eayeh

Ronan: (and the world is turning)

All: --oh, by--yah

Stephen: to a different beat

All: eeyeah--oh, eayeh--oh, eayeh

Ronan: (and the world is turning)

All: --oh, by--yah

Stephen: (to a different beat)



Ronan: i've seen the rain fall in africa

I've touched to snow of alaska

All: (alaska-a-a-a)

Keith: (oh tell me now...)

Ronan: i've felt the mists of niagara

All: (niagra)

Ronan: now i believe...

Stephen: in you...

Ronan: (in you...)



All: eeyeah--oh, eayeh--oh, eayeh

Ronan: (and the world is turning)

All: --oh, by--yah

Stephen: to a different beat

All: eeyeah--oh, eayeh--oh, eayeh

Ronan: (and the world is turning)

All: --oh, by--yah

Stephen: (to a different beat)

All: eeyeah--oh, eayeh--oh, eayeh

Ronan: (and the world is turning)

All: --oh, by--yah

Stephen: (to a different beat)



Ronan: how far we've come

And how far to go

Rain does not fall

On one roof alone...

Stephen: (to a different beat)..
