Breaking those barriers
|
All over the world
|
Was not an easy thing
|
Yesterday your mouth was shut yeah
|
Couldn' t make a sound eh boy
|
But it' s such a good feeling today
|
When I can hear them from
|
Across the ocean singing this song
|
That the whole world should be singing
|
All the time
|
|
|
Chorus: (x3)
|
We' re...
|
Different colours / one people
|
Different colours / one people
|
|
|
Hey you government
|
Never try to separate the people
|
Hey you politician
|
Never try to separate the people
|
|
|
They were created in the image of God
|
And who are you to separate them
|
Bible says, he made man in his image
|
But it didn' t say black or white
|
Look at me you see BLACK
|
I look at you I see WHITE
|
Now is the time to kick that away
|
And join me in my song
|
|
|
Chorus: (x3)
|
|
|
Hey you politician
|
Never seperate the people here
|
Hey you man hey you man
|
Never try to seperate the people
|
|
|
Some were from America
|
We were from South Africa
|
Some were from Japan
|
We were from China
|
Some were from Australia
|
We were from the U.K.
|
Some were from Zimbabwe
|
We were from Ghana
|
Some were from Jamaica
|
We were from Russia
|
Some were from Aha-ha-ha
|
We were from Uhu-hu-hu
|
|
|
Chorus till fade
