Did anybody notice?
Are we the only ones who can see
All of these colors woven in a tapestry?
So beautiful together so beautiful alone.
We’re all so very diff’rent
And yet I feel at home.
Is there a common beat
That connects us all?
The sound of an ancient suite
The rise and the fall.
It sings like a mighty song
A symphony with many parts.
A human melody deep in my memory
A common beat of our hearts.

We all have a story
Our histories tell us where we’re from.
Old legacies and legends
Repeating beating like a distant drum .
Can’t these be foundations
Of a bridge between we and they?
The past is not our future
Only fear is in our way.

There is a common beat
That connects us all.
The sound of a constant wind
Blowin’ down the walls.
It sings like a mighty song
A symphony with many parts.
A human melody playin’ in you in me
A common beat of our hearts.

Isn’t the yellow moon the same moon we see at night?
Isn’t the morning star our universal light?
We may be different but we’re not so far apart.
We want love and to be free.
It’s the beat of ev’ry heart.

Did anybody notice? … etc.
