Rhythm of the Nation
Rhythm of the Nation
Written by Lenny Solomon
Feel the rhythm of the nation, walking with each other,
See them in the city, talk to one another,
Nothing can tear us apart, nothing can tear us apart, yeah.
Feel the rhythm of the nation, working with each other,
Doesn’t matter where they come from, sister or brother,
Everyone’s a part, everyone’s a part, yeah.
We don’t have to agree just understand
When we love ourselves, then everyone will
Gotta put aside our anger, replace it with love
Then all we gotta do is look to above, yeah.
Feel the rhythm of the people, respecting one another,
See them in the market, buying side by side together,
We all play a part, we all play a part, yeah.
Feel the rhythm of the people, honoring each other,
No envy of possessions, no resentment of your neighbor,
Nothing can tear us apart, nothing can tear us apart, yeah.
We might be afraid of the other guy
But even though we’re different we’re on the same side
Gotta put aside our anger, replace it with love
Then all we gotta do is look to above, yeah.
Love thy neighbor like thyself…
