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
