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
Eeyeah--oh, eayeh--oh, eayeh (and the world is turning)--oh, by--yah
Humanity's lost face
So let's take a stand
CHORUS
I've seen the rain, fall in Africa
repeat CHORUS twice
How far we've come
and look around us now, people
To a different beat
Eayeh--oh, eayeh--oh, eayeh (and the world is turning)--oh, by yah
(to a different beat)
Let's understand its grace
Each day one at a time
Each life including mine
and look around us now, people oh, people oh people!
I've touched to snow of Alaska
(Oh tell me now...)
I've felt the mists of Niagara
Now I believe...
In you..
and how far to go
rain does not fall
on one roof alone..(to a different beat)..
