You know I think people been doing too much talking Talking about right, wrong, war, peace But what I'm talking about is unity Unity under this groove Let me show you Everybody come together now Cause this groove that we are puttin' down Ain’t about to wait for you to decide The why, the what, the how Step on the floor and settle in Let this beat be your medicine No this ain’t a debate, listen to what we say We’re your teachers here’s your lesson People get up and clap your hands Don’t you see What we’re spreading across this land Is love and unity Everyday people talk with their fingers Stinging words who’s poison seems to linger Drawing lines and searching for the ringer To shut it all down I’ve been lookin’ round, I’ve been gettin’ down I’ve been hearin’ sounds of people wonderin’ what to do But when I’m with my crew I can feel the love, I’m light as a dove I gotta give it up to everyone who's livin’ proof This world is more that just Talkin’ round and round while feelin’ crazy Callin’ for action while being lazy I’d rather just dance here with my baby To this funky sound People get up and clap your hands Don’t you see What we’re spreading across this land Is love and unity When you step on this floor Differences get ignored So give yourself over to this groove Got to get on down Tell em what it is What we're spreading across this land Is love and unity Oh got to come together People get up and clap your hands Don’t you see What we’re spreading across this land Is love and unity So there it is We gotta come together Cause we gotta forget about what we hate Come all together on what we love

What’d you say? Oh lord I cannot believe Every word that comes out of your mouth sounds like hate Well tell me please Do you want to be alone Or will you stand with me and for freedom will you sing Let me hear you now Sing it for your brother Sing it for your father Your sister and your mother What’d you say? That it’s not your place to act And someone else will do it better if we wait Well we don’t have time We’ve got to stand for those who can’t A voice crying for the weak, singing for those who can’t speak Let me hear you now Sing it for your brother Sing it for your mother now Your sister and your father Gotta sing it now A voice crying for the weak For those who can't speak We got to stand Each man and woman of the land We got to live for this life again We got to stand Each man and woman of the land We got to live for this life again Sing it for your mother Sing it for your father now Your sister and your brother Oh sing for one another Got to sing it now We got to stand Each man and woman of the land We got to live for this life again We got to stand Each man and woman of the land We got to live for this life again
