Song Lyrics

Five, four, three, two, one

With music by our side to break the color lines
Let's work together to improve our way of life
Join voices in protest to social injustice
A generation full of courage, come forth with me

People of the world today
Are we looking for a better way of life
Sing!
We are a part of the rhythm nation
People of the world unite
Strength in numbers we can get it right, one time
Say!
We are a part of the rhythm nation

This is the test, no struggle, no progress
(Lend) Lend a hand to help your brother do his best
Things are getting worse, we have to make them better
It's time we give a damn, let's work together, work together

People of the world today
Are we looking for a better way of life
Sing!
We are a part of the rhythm nation (rhythm nation)
People of the world unite
Strength in numbers we can get it right, one time
Say!
We are a part of the rhythm nation

Come on

Say
People of the world today
Are we looking for a better way of life
We are a part of the rhythm nation
People of the world unite
Strength in numbers we can get it right, one time
Say!
We are a part of the rhythm nation

Oh yeah

Just give me
Come on
Yeah

Sing it, people
Say it different
Sing it if you want a better way of life
Sing it, people
Say it different
Sing it if you want a better way of life

People of the world today
Are we looking for a better way of life
We are a part of the rhythm nation
People of the world unite
Strength in numbers we can get it right, one time
Say!
We are a part of the rhythm nation

People of the world today
Are we looking for a better way of life
We are a part of the rhythm nation
People of the world unite
Strength in numbers we can get it right, one time
Say!
We are a part of the rhythm nation

People of the world today
Are we looking for a better way of life
Say!
We are the part of the rhythm nation
