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



Chorus:

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
We are a part of the rhythm nation



This is the test
No struggle no progress
Lend a hand to help

Your brother do his best
Things are getting worse
We have to make them better

It's time to give a damn
Let's work together come on



Repeat Chorus
