SING TOGETHER

Man came out of Africa
Forty-thousand years ago.
Some burned dark in the tropic sun.
Some turned pale in the snow.
They walked every inch of this Earth,
Sailed the world around,
And every time they met they tried
To shoot each other down
Sing together, children.
Feel it in your heart.
Sing together.
That's a place to start.
Now we're running out of world.
It ain't like long ago.
These days you can't turn around
Without stepping on somebody's toe.
I hear the music popping
With the sounds of many lands,
Calling out around the world,
Something we can all understand.
Sing together, children.
Feel it in your heart.
Sing together.
That's a place to start.
Sing together, children.
Feel it in your heart.
Sing together.
That's a place to start.
You can give a chimpanzee a drum.
It'll never play a beat.
Slip an old guitar to any bum,
And you might hear something sweet.
Listen to the song he's singing.
Know that he can hear you too
Voices raised in harmony
Can help each other see it through.
Sing together, children.
Feel it in your heart.
Sing together.
That's a place to start.
Sing together, children.
Feel it in your heart.
Let's sing together.
That's a place to start.
Sing together, children.
Sing together, children.
Sing together. Sing together.
That's a place to start.
