A Different Beat - Melting Pot
African voices
Let’s not forget this place Let’s not neglect our race Let unity become Life on Earth be one
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-Eeyea-oh , by-yah To a different beat Eeyea-oh, Eeyea-Eeyea-oh , by-yah
Humanity has lost face Let’s understand its grace Each day at 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
Chorus
I’ve seen the rain fall in Africa I’ve touched the snow 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 to go Rain does not fall on one roof alone
Take a pinch of white man Wrap it up in black skin Add a touch of blueblood And a little bitty of red Indian boy Mm
Curly black and kinkies Oriental sexy
If you lump it all together Well you’ve got a recipe for a Get along scene… Oh what a beautiful Dream If it could only come true you know you know
Chorus What we need is a great …big melting pot Big enough to take the world And all it’s got …keep it stirring for a Hundreds years or more Turn out…coffee coloured people by the score Yeah…no hm
Rab-bis and friars Bishops and the Gurus You got the beatles or the sun god (it’s true) Well it really doesn’t matter what religion You choose no , no , no , ooo
Mick and lady Faithful Lord and missi graceful You know the living could be tasteful Ah we should all get together In a loving machine I’d better call up the Queen It’s only fair that she knows You know you know
