December 96 The video was filmed on blue background. The "Africa" part was added in after the lads had recorded their parts in a studio in London. (I have to add this song is my favourite when the boyz are in a concert... I mean... Eeyeah-oh, eeyea-oh, eeyea-oh, by-ah *frantic arms moves*...) Highest chart position : 1

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, eeyea-oh, eeyea-oh, by-ah (and the world is turning)
To a different beat
Eeyeah-oh, eeyea-oh, eeyea-oh, by-ah
(and the world is turning)
(To a different beat)
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, people oh, people!

Eeyeah-oh, eeyea-oh, eeyea-oh, by-ah
(and the world is turning)
To a different beat
Eeyeah-oh, eeyea-oh, eeyea-oh, by-ah
(and the world is turning)
(To a different beat)

I've seen the rain fall in Africa
I've touched to snow of Alaska
I've felt the mists of Niagara
Now I believe...
In you...
In you...

Eeyeah-oh, eeyea-oh, eeyea-oh, by-ah
(and the world is turning)
To a different beat
Eeyeah-oh, eeyea-oh, eeyea-oh, by-ah
(and the world is turning)
(To a different beat)
Eeyeah-oh, eeyea-oh, eeyea-oh, by-ah
(and the world is turning)
To a different beat
Eeyeah-oh, eeyea-oh, eeyea-oh, by-ah
(and the world is turning)
(To a different beat)

How far we've come
And how far to go
Rain does not fall
On one roof alone...
To a different beat...
